I Can't Believe I Made a Buckeye Cake

So, given my and Dave' s love of chocolate and peanut butter (Reese's peanut butter cups don't last long in this house), I found a recipe for a Buckeye Cake on this web site: http://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/detail.aspx?ID=130540 and decided to give it a try despite the name.

If you haven't figured out, Dave and I are Wolverine fans, not Buckeyes.


The recipe is easy to follow, but takes a little time to make because of cooling and setting times. I added a little bittersweet chocolate to the ganache recipe, which turned out nicely.


I recommend refrigerating it before slicing to allow the ganache to set and not run all over the peanut butter. The top photo shows a slice after sitting for 15 minutes verses overnight.
