Better Than Reese's Bars

I had some cake mix and some frosting and decided I would try to come up with something new for the family. My step dad and my son both love peanut butter and everyone in the house loves reeses peanut butter cups. I threw the cake mix together with a few add ins, added some peanut butter to the chocolate frosting and this is what we got. They didnt last more than an hour in the house and i am already getting complaints that i havent made more. How can something so easy taste this good?

Better Than Reeses Bars

Ingredients:

1 box pillsbury golden butter recipe premium cake mix (moist supreme)
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 c water
1 egg
1 t vanilla
1/2 c milk chocolate morsels (i use ghirardelli)
FROSTING
1 cantainer of chocolate fudge frosting
1/2 c creamy peanut butter
1 t vanilla
assorted sprinkles




Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray your baking pan with non stick cooking spray. (I used my perfect brownie pan, cause i am addicted to it lol. But you can use a 13 x 9 pan. The end result withe the perfect brownie pan probably produces a thicker bar since the pan is smaller.)


Put cake mix, peanut butter, water and egg in a large bowl and mix on low speed. Then on medium speed until you have a soft dough.

Add chocolate chips and work into dough with clean hands

Cover baking pan bottom evenly with dough and press down to fit entire pan
If using perfect brownie pan, insert divider now

Bake in oven 20 to 25 minutes or until bars look golden and are puffed up.(in the brownie pan it took 22 minutes) Remove and cool completely.

Cut bars and transfer to serving plate.

In small bowl combine frosting, and peanut butter. Mix on low speed till well blended

Add vanilla and blend in well

Frost cooled bars with frosting and decorate with sprinkles or chopped nuts. (I usually pipe my frosting on so it looks pretty but I wanted these to have frosting on every bit lol)

Grab a bar and a big glass of ice cold milk and enjoy. But better hurry up cause they dont stay on the plate long.
