How to Make Peanut Butter Fudgy Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup water, and 1 large egg. Beat on low speed until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is lightly golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- While the bars are cooling, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat 1 cup (16 oz) frosting (vanilla or chocolate) with 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled bars.
- Top with your favorite chopped candy (e.g., Reese's Pieces, M&Ms) and chopped nuts (e.g., peanuts, pecans).
