How to Make Peanut Butter Fudge Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 large egg, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil. Mix until well combined.
  3. Press 2/3 of the peanut butter mixture into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes.
  5. Let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, in a heavy saucepan over low heat, melt 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, stirring constantly until smooth and melted.
  7. Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the par-baked crust.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining peanut butter crumb mixture evenly over the chocolate layer.
  9. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
  10. Let cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
