When my friend Leah was nearing the end of her pregnancy, I decided I needed to bake her something delicious to satisfy all of her sweet-tooth cravings.
I stumbled across this concoction of a dessert with chocoloate and peanut butter which are 2 of my favorite things! Oh yeah, did I mention that I love anything with marshmallows? Well, I do.
Drum roll please..... The dessert I made was Chocolate-Peanut Butter Mallow Bars.
All the necessities:
1 pkg. (2-layer size) devil's food cake mix
1/2 cup butter, melted
2/3 cup milk, divided
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 jar (7 oz.) JET-PUFFED Marshmallow Creme
1/2 cup PLANTERS Salted Peanuts
6 squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, coarsely chopped (Chopping the chocolate seemed to take quite a bit of time, I thought about using a Slap Chop, but I don't have one... Let me know if you have a quicker way of chopping the chocolate other than with a knife)
What to do:
HEAT oven to 350°F.
MIX dry cake mix, butter and 1/3 cup milk until well blended; press 2/3 onto bottom of 13x9-inch pan. Bake 12 to 14 min. or until center is almost set; cool 3 min.
COMBINE peanut butter and remaining milk - the mixture seems to be hard to combine, but keep stirring and the two will combine; spread onto crust. Top with small spoonfuls of the marshmallow creme and remaining cake mixture. Sprinkle with nuts and chocolate; press gently into cake mixture. (I don't really care for nuts in my dessert, so I used much less than the recipe called for, I might not even use nuts next time).
BAKE 18 min. or just until center is set. Cool completely before cutting into bars
This is one of the easiest desserts I've made and it's delicious right out of the oven or even the next day!
Feast your eyes on the deliciousness:
