    Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars Recipe

    This Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars Recipe will have your mouth watering, thinking of this dense, delicious combination of chocolate and peanut butter. This might be my new go-to recipe (usually it's brownies). These are so rich! And make an entire 9x13 pan so you get about 35 bars! Trust me, they will go quick no matter where you take them (or if you leave them at home)!

    Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars Recipe

    Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars Recipe

    If you love these famous peanut butter cups or those peanut butter and chocolate cookies that you see flying off the shelves at your local store, then you will most definitely LOVE these! It's kinda like a brownie but ever better! Peanut butter and chocolate have long been a favorite couple of mine, even since I was a little girl.

    This recipe makes 35 bars...that's enough to feed an entire football team! I made this recipe for a my friend's daughter who was graduating girl scout's as a brownie and moving on to the next phase of the girl scouts. I figured what better recipe to cook than this?

    Not only is it symbolic, but her daughter LOVES peanut butter and chocolate. This recipe would be enough for the entire group of girls AND their leaders!

    Just to be on the safe side, after baking them I labeled each one and put a cute little sticker that read "Contains Peanut Butter". I also informed my friend to make sure everyone was aware just in case they had a peanut allergy. I told my friend they didn't necessarily have to share with the group, but wanted to label them and leave it up to her if she wanted to share. 

    This recipe was under $10 and I still can't get over the fact that it could feed THIRTY FIVE people! I know our local store sells 8 small brownies for $5! And to be quite honest, they aren't all that!

    These brownies came out soo rich and absolutely decadent! There was a nice fudgy consistency to them and with the peanut butter, cake mix, vanilla and condensed milk, it was total flavor overload! I couldn't wait to give these to my friend and her precious little girl. I gave them to my friend and we chatted for a bit.

    She said she would give them to the leaders and parents and if their child was allowed to have them, the parent or leader would distribute them.

    What a smart idea, I could've saved myself some time with the labeling...but better safe than sorry, right? My friend said the graduation went well, and pretty much all had a brownie! There were other things there as well, so no child went without dessert.

    I made sure to print her out the recipe card in case parents asked for the recipe, and its a good thing because many did! This recipe is good for all occasions and so easily shareable as well.

    Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars Recipe Ingredients

    • 1 package yellow cake mix
    • ½ cup melted butter
    • 1 cup peanut butter (creamy)
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 pkg chocolate chips
    • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla

    Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars Recipe Directions

    Heat oven to 325.

    In a mixing bowl, add cake mix, butter, peanut butter and eggs. Mix with beater for about a minute, combining all ingredients well. Set aside 1-½ cups batter. Evenly press remaining batter into a 9x13 pan using your fingers. 

    On the stove, melt chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Use medium heat and stir constantly so the chocolate doesn't burn. When completely melted, remove from  heat and pour into 9x13 pan. Spread chocolate evenly. 

    Using reserved batter, place cake mixture on top of chocolate. I used my fingers to grab a small chunk of batter and place on top of the chocolate. 

    Bake 20-25 minutes. Cool completely. 

    To cut into bars: Use a metal spatula and loosen the bar edges all the way around the edge of the pan. Cut into about 35 bars (5 rows x 7 rows) and serve. I found a sharp knife to be the best way to cut, and dragging it seemed to work well. Store covered if not serving right away.
