How to Make Peanut Butter Brownies Using A Cake Mix

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate fudge cake mix, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 3 large eggs.
  3. Reserve 1 cup of the batter.
  4. Press the remaining batter into a greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes.
  6. While the crust bakes, prepare the peanut butter topping: In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  7. Remove the pan from the oven. Pour the peanut butter mixture evenly over the partially baked crust.
  8. Drop the reserved batter by spoonfuls over the peanut butter layer.
  9. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Let cool completely before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
