How to Make a Peanut Butter Chocolate Bar

Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars

Ingredients

Crust

• 1 box yellow cake mix (no pudding)
• 1 cup chunky peanut butter
• 1 stick butter
• 2 eggs

Filling

• 1 12 ounce package chocolate chips
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 Tbsp. butter
• 1 tsp. vanilla

• 1 1/2 cups unsalted peanuts, chopped

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a 9×13 baking pan with foil (leave some hanging over the edges, making handles) and spray with Pam.
2. For the crust: melt butter. On a low speed, mix cake mix, peanut butter, melted butter and eggs for 1 minute.
3. Set aside 1 1/2 cups of the mix for the top.
4. Pour remaining mix in pan and push down with finger to make bottom layer.
5. For the filling: melt chocolate chips, butter and milk either in the microwave or on the stove using a double boiler. Stir frequently to make sure it doesn’t burn. Stir in vanilla.
6. Pour over crust. Top chocolate layer with remaining crust mix, crumbled. Top with chopped peanuts. (Note: 1 1/2 cups might be too much. You might be able to get away with 1 cup.)
7. Bake 30-35 minutes. Let cool. Cut and serve. (After cutting, bars can be refrigerated to set the chocolate.)
