Buckeye Brownies

*For the brownies:*

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 12×8 baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine melted butter, oil, granulated and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth.
3. Add vanilla and eggs, beating for 30 seconds until the batter lightens.
4. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix lightly until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chunks on top.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the center no longer jiggles. For fudgy brownies, avoid overbaking. For cakey brownies, bake 5-8 minutes longer.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

*For the peanut butter fudge:*

1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine all peanut butter fudge ingredients. Beat until smooth. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a spreadable but stiff consistency.

*For the ganache:*

1. Break up the chocolate and place it in a medium-sized bowl.
2. Heat cream for 30-45 seconds in the microwave until it bubbles. Pour over the chocolate and let sit for 3 minutes before whisking.
3. If the chocolate doesn’t completely melt, microwave for an additional 20 seconds and whisk until smooth. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.

*For assembly:*

1. Once the brownies have cooled completely, top them with the peanut butter fudge and spread evenly.
2. Pour the cooled chocolate ganache over the top and spread to coat evenly.
3. Allow to set for 30 minutes before cutting and serving. Get ready to savor every bite!
