Ingredients

• 1 box yellow cake mix
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 3/4 cup Reese’s peanut butter cups, roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup chopped peanuts (I used the sundae topping kind in a can)
• 1 cup peanut butter chips
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chocolate chips
• 1 cup raspberry M&M’s
• 3/4 cup Ghiradelli Dark & Raspberry chocolate squares, chopped
• 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13×9 inch baking pan with foil, extending the sides over the edges of the pan. Lightly mist with cooking spray and set aside.

2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, egg and melted butter–mix until a stiff dough forms. Press the dough into the prepared pan and bake for approx. 12 minutes or until lightly set in the middle.

3. Remove the pan from the oven and immediately top with the Reese’s cups, peanuts, peanut butter chips, semi-sweet chips, raspberry M&M’s and chopped Ghiradelli chocolates in an even layer. Drizzle the can of scmilk over the top of the bars and return to the oven.

4. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or so, or until the bars are bubbling and set in the center. Cool completely before gently lifting from the pan using the foil handles and cutting into bars. Store airtight, at room temperature, for several days.
