Cake Mix Peanut Butter Bars



Ingredients:
1 cup of Peanut Butter
1/2 cup water
1 large egg
15.25 ounces Yellow Cake Mix

For the frosting:
1 stick margarine (1/2 c.), softened
1/4 cup milk
1/­2 tsp vanilla (depending on your taste)
3 tablespoons of cocoa
2-­3 cups of powdered sugar

Heat the oven to 350°F.  Spray a 13 X 9­inch pan with no­stick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl combine 1 cup of peanut butter, water and egg in large bowl, stirring until smooth.  Stir in cake mix until blended well. Spread into prepared pan.  Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until puffed and light golden brown. Cool completely.

Mix all frosting ingredients with a hand mixer until smooth. Add more powdered sugar or milk until you reach desired consistency and spread on top of bars. Or, if you’re feeling lazy, buy a can of whipped milk chocolate frosting. 


These bars were easy to throw together and smelled delicious coming out of the oven.  While they were very tasty, be warned that they are very “dense”.  I would cut them in small squares or be prepared to wash it down with a glass of milk.
