Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake Bars

By -
What You Need:
1 pkg. chocolate cake mix 1 pkg. chocolate instant pudding
1/2 C. butter, melted 1/2 C. cold milk
6 squares bakers chocolate (I recommend using 1 C. chocolate chips instead)
1 C. dry roasted peanuts, divided (I didn't use these, because the kids said no)
1 C. creamy peanut butter

Make it:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 13X9 inch pan with foil; spray with cooking spray.

Mix first four ingredients until blended. (Mixture will be thick.)


Press half the cake mix mixture into prepared pan. Bake 10 minutes. (Then I put mine in the freezer for 10 min.)

Chop the chocolate. (The second and third time I made this, I used chocolate chips which I highly recommend.)
Sprinkle half of each of the chocolate and nuts over crust; top with peanut butter.

Cover with layers of remaining cake mix mixture, chocolate and nuts. Press gently with spatula.
Bake 15 min. Cool 1 hour. Refrigerate 4 hours before cutting into bars (or put in freezer to speed up the waiting time!)


Grab a glass of milk and enjoy!


Super yummy!

anything with chocolate and peanut butter has to be delish!
Although, now I'm curious about Pat's 10 min lava cake. Do share!

Sara, it is kind of evil, so you might want to know about it. BUT if you insist you have to get a pampered chef rice cooker for $25. I know it seemed a bit steep for me also, but 10 min cake, irristible. So you get a regular cake mix and mix it in the bowl according to the directions. Next you scoop 4 or 5 scoops of frosting on top of the batter. Put the lid on and microwave for 10 mins. Dump it out and walah, you have molten lava cake to die for. Except my microwave is super powerful so finally I have discovered to only cook my cakes for 7 minutes.

Sleep? Oh, Sleep! Where are you?

Once I realized that I was going to have snore free nights, I was overjoyed! What I didn't count on though was my children. On Sunday Night (Mon. morning) all three of them decided that 4 AM would be a great time to wake up. Monday night, Hunter snuck into our bed for half the night until I took him back to his bed. The other half of the night Cannon was up every two hours until I let him sleep with us. Audrey actually stayed in her bed and only cried once. This brings me to last night. 11:00 PM I turn out the lights and go to bed, thinking to myself that Cannon will probably be up in an hour. 12:00 AM Cannon wakes up. I feed him. 1:00 AM I wake up, slumped over with Cannon still in my arms to Audrey screaming. I quickly put Cannon back in his bed and go see Audrey. She is standing up with her blanket and sippy, has already said "good bye" to binky and is ready to get out of bed. I bring her back to bed with me. 2:00 AM Fight with Audrey about the covers (she...
