Peggy Murray of Enfield, Maine relies on a cake mix and other pantry staples to make these rich crumb-topped treats.

Ingredients

  • 1 package yellow cake mix (regular size)
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, peanut butter, oil, and egg until well blended.
  2. Press two-thirds of the mixture into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
  3. In a heavy saucepan, heat the milk, chocolate chips and butter over low heat; stir until smooth. Pour over crust. Sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes longer or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars.
