How to Make Cake Mix Peanut Butter Squares

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine one box (15.25 oz) of your favorite cake mix, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened margarine, and 2 large eggs. Mix until well combined.
  3. Pour 2/3 of the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  4. In a separate saucepan over low heat, melt 1 (14 oz) can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir frequently until smooth and melted.
  5. Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
  6. Top with the remaining 1/3 of the cake batter, spreading to cover the chocolate layer.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
