Description

Indulge in the irresistible decadence of these Peanut Butter Cup Gooey Bars. A delightful blend of cake mix, peanut butter, sweetened condensed milk, and peanut butter cups, these bars are gooey perfection in every bite.


Ingredients

Cake Mix Dough:

  • 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg

Filling:

  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup peanut butter chips
  • 1 cup chopped mini peanut butter cups


Instructions

  1. Prep the Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or greasing.
  2. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine cake mix, melted butter, peanut butter, and 1 egg to form a soft dough. Press two-thirds of it into the pan.
  3. Prepare the Filling: In another bowl, mix condensed milk, remaining egg, vanilla, peanut butter chips, and chopped peanut butter cups. Spread over the crust.
  4. Bake: Drop spoonfuls of remaining dough over the top. Bake for 28–32 minutes until set. Cool before slicing into bars.

Notes

  • For added richness, drizzle melted chocolate or warm peanut butter on top.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
