How to Make Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and spray 13 x 9 x 2 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2: Using an electric mixer, beat cake mix, 2/3 cup of peanut butter, and egg in large mixing bowl, until crumbly.

Step 3: Press crumb mixture with a fork into a greased baking pan, until evenly spread.

Step 4: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and 1/3 cup of peanut butter with electric mixer until smooth. Slowly add in milk and sugar until fully incorporated.

Step 5: Carefully pour cream cheese and peanut butter mixture over crust. Spread evenly and sprinkle with chocolate chips.

Step 6: Bake in oven for 25-30 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and center is set.

Step 7: Let the peanut butter chocolate chip bars cool completely before cutting with a plastic knife. Store leftover bars in refrigerator for up to 5 days.

These peanut butter chocolate chip bars are simply divine straight out of the oven, but I also love eating them the next day after they’ve been in the fridge. They really do taste like peanut butter cheesecake and pair perfectly with a tall, cold glass of milk. You can also warm up leftover bars in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, if you don’t want them cold. Either way, they’re delish!

    Those look delicious! I am so sick of seeing all the New Years diet stuff. This is like a breathe of fresh air! I plan to make these with my daughter. She is ten and just got into cooking and I think she could manage to make these! Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend!

    I am literally drooling on my computer right now! Oh my, this looks heavenly. Also, I can’t help but smile so much when I see the Peter Pan peanut butter; it makes me nostalgic because that’s what my mom bought growing up. Thanks for the great recipe -can’t wait to make.
