Cake Mix Peanut Butter Bars Recipe image

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 white cake mix
1 egg
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup canola oil
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
3/4 cup chopped peanuts
1 cup chopped Reese's (I used the Reese's Minis and cut them into thirds!)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix cake mix, egg, peanut butter and canola oil in a large bowl. Mix with large spoon (or hands) until it makes a crumbly dough. Press 3/4 dough into the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 inch pan.
  • Set the 1/4 dough mixture aside.
  • Pour entire can of sweetened condensed milk over the pressed dough. Then sprinkle peanuts, peanut butter chips, and Reese's on top. The remaining dough should be a little crumbly, sprinkle what's left over the condensed milk and toppings. Most of the middle layer should be covered.
  • Place in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
  • Cool for at least 45 minutes before serving, or dig in with a spoon right out of the oven for a gooey warm peanut butter treat! ;)
