Gooey Peanut Butter Reese’s Bars

Ingredients: 

1 box yellow cake mix

 1 stick butter, softened

 1 egg

 1 cup chocolate chips

 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

 15-20 (or however many you want) Reese’s peanut butter cups, coarsely chopped

Directions:

 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9×13 inch baking dish with foil and spray generously with nonstick cooking spray.

 2. In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, butter, and egg until a dough forms. Press the dough onto the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Top the dough with chocolate chips.

 3. In a small bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter until well combined and pour over the dough. Top with the chopped Reese’s.

 4. Bake at 350 for 23-30 minutes, until the bars are golden brown and the center is set (doesn’t giggle when you move the pan). Let them cool completely before you cut them into squares.

Note: The original recipe says the cook time is 23-25 minutes. I ended up cooking mine for closer to 30 because the bars wouldn’t set. When you take them out of the oven, they will be incredibly gooey. That’s ok, just let them cool completely (I know…willpower) before you eat them. It’s worth the wait!
