Baking goes hand in hand with the holiday season. I LOVE baking cookies and blondies and candies both to keep and give away as gifts. But let me be honest, this year, I haven’t had the chance to bake like I would like. One of my favorite desserts to make over Christmas are Buckeyes. I wanted to figure out a way to incorporate Pillsbury™ Baking mixes and frosting to make an easy buckeye-like dessert. And let me tell you, this dessert did not disappoint!
I created a Five Ingredient Buckeye Bar recipe that turned out to be dynamite! When I shared this dessert with my friends and family, they all thought it was homemade! Little did they know that I barely had to do any work to make these Buckeye Bars! And, most of the ingredients I already had in my pantry!
I headed to Publix to purchase one box of Pillsbury™ Moist Supreme® Classic Yellow Cake Mix and one container of Pillsbury™ Creamy Supreme® Chocolate Fudge frosting.
Once I got home, I gathered rest of the ingredients (an egg, peanut butter and water) and got to work.
In my Kitchenaid Mixer, I started by mixing the wet ingredients (egg, peanut butter and water).
Once the wet ingredients were mixed nicely, I add the cake mix to the wet ingredients. You will know you are done mixing when your batter has the consistency of cookie dough.
I then spread bar dough into a 13 x 9 inch baking dish and baked for 20 minutes.
Once the bars cooled, frost them with Pillsbury™ Creamy Supreme® Chocolate Fudge frosting.
Doesn’t it look divine!?!

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
