PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE BARS

Peanut Butter, chocolate, cake mix…how could this not be heaven. I have been making these for a couple years ever since I had them at my friend’s chocolate party. This are very, very rich. For me to say that is saying a lot. 

HOW TO MAKE THEM

Cake mix sizes have reduced in size over the years so I have adapted this recipe to reflect that.
