Ingredients
  

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven and Prepare the Pan - Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease the pan.
  • Prepare the Cake Mix - In a large bowl, combine cake mix, peanut butter, canola oil, and egg. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined.
  • Bake the Mix - Add two-thirds of the peanut butter mix to the pan. Bake for ten minutes and allow to cool for five minutes on a wire rack.
  • Prepare the Fudge - On low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and butter in a heavy saucepan. Stir until smooth, then pour over the peanut butter mixture and sprinkle with the remaining peanut butter mixture. Be careful while pouring the fudge, as it will be hot.
  • Bake the Mix - Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool on a wire rack and then cut into bars.
  • These peanut butter bars are great treats for bake sales, games, parties and any sort of occasion. Both kids and adults will love the perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter.

Notes

  • When making these peanut butter fudge bars, it is best to avoid using reduced-fat peanut butter. Using reduced-fat peanut butter won’t give the bars as rich of a flavor as regular creamy peanut butter does. You can use crunchy peanut butter if you want to add more texture to the bars.
  • If you prefer, you can also use milk or dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet. You can also use baking bars or melting wafers instead of chocolate chips.
  • Though it’s recommended to use a yellow cake mix, you can also try it with another flavor. Both white and chocolate cake mixes go well with peanut butter and fudge.
  • When making the fudge portion, make sure you use sweetened condensed milk and not evaporated milk. Evaporated milk is essentially the same thing as sweetened condensed milk, but the thing that sets them apart is that evaporated milk does not contain sugar but sweetened condensed milk does. If you were to use evaporated milk, it would affect the flavor of the fudge and not give it classic sweet taste fudge has.
