Recipes Using Cake Mixes: #12 Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Bars

by Admin


Music by: Jason Shaw www.youtube.com I was looking for a good recipe for a colleague at work who love peanut butter and chocolate. I found this one on the Woman’s Day website. It was love at first sight. INGREDIENTS 1 box Chocolate Brownies mix 1⁄2 cup peanut butter chips 1⁄2 cup dry roasted peanuts (original recipe says chopped, I left them whole) Peanut Butter Filling 3⁄4 cup creamy peanut butter 1 cup marshmallow cream (such as Marshmallow Fluff or Creme) 3⁄4 stick (6 Tbsp) butter, softened 3⁄4 cup confectioners’ sugar (also called icing sugar or powdered sugar) Chocolate Glaze 6 oz bittersweet baking chocolate, coarsely chopped 5 Tbsp butter 1 Tbsp corn syrup PREPARATION 1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line a 9-in. square pan with foil, letting foil extend above pan on opposite sides. Coat foil with nonstick spray. 2. Prepare brownie mix as package directs for fudgy brownies. Stir in peanut butter chips and peanuts. Spread evenly in prepared pan. 3. Bake 30 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. 4. Filling: Beat peanut butter, marshmallow cream and butter in a medium bowl with mixer on high speed until well blended. Reduce speed to low, add confectioners’ sugar and beat until blended. Spread evenly over brownie. 5. Glaze: Microwave chocolate and butter, stirring at 30-second intervals, until melted and smooth. Cool slightly; stir in corn syrup. Spread evenly over Filling. Refrigerate 1

curiousmayra February 5, 2012 at 4:38 pm

Do we have to use a Bakers chocolate for the topping or can we use a regular chocolate bar??? Please answer. I’m really want to try these!

@bekygirl1995 Yes you can use the equivalent amount of melted marshmallows

bekygirl1995 February 5, 2012 at 7:14 pm

would melting marshmellows work or softening them because we dont have marshmellow creme in my country

I just decided on what I’m going to take to my mother’s house for thanksgiving. This will be a major big hit.

@freshpetalz i just did it in the microwave in 30 second increments. however, i have to say that it didn’t work well. actually i ended up making it again with the proper marshmallow creme that i bought at a USA food store in moorabbin, vic. that worked perfectly.

freshpetalz February 5, 2012 at 8:47 pm

@buckleyxsempre how did you melt the marshmallow? :) would it burn if i tried to melt them over a stove top?

freshpetalz February 5, 2012 at 9:02 pm
