Take-out Tuesday, Cake Mix Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Bars
We celebrated the last weekend before school starts
with lots of swimming, boating and grilling at the beach house
I made these easy cake mix cookie bars for a sweet treat
These come together quickly and bake in 25 minutes
Peanut butter, white or yellow cake mix, sweetened condensed milk,
cooking oil, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups*,
1 egg, and chocolate and butterscotch chips
*you can also use the mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Mix the cake mix with egg, peanut butter and oil
Put the dough into a 9″ x 13″ baking dish
that has been greased and lined with parchment paper
The dough is crumbly, use your fingers to spread it into and even layer
Cut the large peanut butter cups into 1/4ths
and put them on top along with the other chips
Next pour the milk over all
Into a 350 degree oven it goes for 25 minutes
Here comes the hard part,
waiting until it is cool enough to cut and eat!
Sit the dish on a wire rack and after the cookies cool,
put the dish in the refrigerator to set completely
Remove cookies from pan by lifting the paper out of the pan
and then cut into bars

Oh Jenna… you had me at Peanut butter cups! I may make these just for us… we can celebrate the grandchildren who are in Seattle and Florida going back to school.
Happy Tuesday my friend!
Easy and decadent! Oh goodness your grands live so far away, how often do you get to see them?
Two to 3 times a year. They are in both corners of the U.S.
This looks decadent, and I swear, Jenna, you and I are on the same wavelength because I’m posting a cake mix recipe tomorrow, lol. Pinning it!

This looks so good. My son-in-love is a Reece’s Peanut Butter Cup fan. I know he would love this. The rest of us would do our part too!
I made these for my son in love because he is a huge sweet lover, he just about swooned when I handed him a container full!
