Ingredients
The following ingredients have 8 Servings
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup butter (at room temp)
- 2 Tablespoons milk (I used 2%)
- 2/3 cup broken pretzels
- 1/3 cup + 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 4 oz cream cheese (at room temp)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 caramel bits
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instruction
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the cake mix, egg, butter, and milk, and beat on medium until it comes together into a thick batter. Divide the batter in half and move half to a separate small bowl - put this bowl into the fridge until you're ready to work with it.
- In the half of the batter that's still in your mixing bowl, pour in the broken pretzels and mix on low until distributed.
- Press the batter until your prepared baking dish. [If your batter is too sticky to press down, put it into the freezer for a few minutes - it'll be much easier to work with!]
- Bake for 8-9 minutes - the batter should just barely be set.
- While the bottom layer is baking, in a large bowl, add the other egg, peanut butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar and beat until smooth and creamy.
- Once the bottom layer is done, carefully (the pan is hot!) spread the peanut butter layer on top.
- Sprinkle on the caramel bits then the chocolate chips.
- Remove the remaining batter from the fridge and flatten it into small pieces and evenly over the top.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until the cake batter is puffy and golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool before slicing into bars.
- Enjoy!
