The classic chocolate-covered peanut butter Buckeye...but turn it into a ridiculously large and over-the-top cookie.

If chocolate and peanut butter is your love language, THIS is your cookie.

Inspired by classic Buckeye candies, this oversized stuffed cookie starts with a thick, soft, deeply chocolate cookie loaded with chocolate chips. Inside is a generous scratch-made Buckeye peanut butter filling that stays soft and rich against the dark chocolate cookie.

And because apparently there wasn't enough chocolate already, there's another little chocolate center hidden inside the peanut butter filling.

CHOCOLATE COOKIE → PEANUT BUTTER BUCKEYE → CHOCOLATE.

Buckeyes have long been a favorite around the holidays, but if we're being honest there's really no wrong season for chocolate and peanut butter. This cookie takes everything people love about the candy, that soft, sweet peanut butter center against rich chocolate, and turns it into a giant bakery-style cookie with an incredibly satisfying cross-section.

Finish it with a chocolate drizzle and a peanut butter cup on top for the full bakery treatment, or leave it simple and let that chocolate-peanut butter center do all the talking.
