Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars

You'd think by now that I've probably made every peanut butter and chocolate dessert out there but I still have quite a few pinned on Pinterest that I haven't tried and have been dying to.  With a pretty open weekend with little plans, I knew Sunday afternoon would consist of baking a new dessert to enjoy this week.

The ingredients

 

Layer 1: cake mix, peanut butter, butter, and eggs

 

Layer 2: chocolate chips, vanilla extract, condensed milk, and butter

 

Layer 3: crumbled bits of layer 1 on top (I don't think I left enough of the batter for the top layer)

 

20 minutes later, out of the oven, and ready to devour with vanilla ice cream
