Peanut Butter Lovers UNITE.

This takes peanut butter to a whole new level and it is an amazing and delicious level.

We were recently given the opportunity to work with one of our favorite baking brands, Krusteaz, and develop a recipe using one of their mixes.

If you haven’t noticed by now, we love using cake mixes and cookie mixes to help make our lives easier, so we were excited to come up with something.

Krusteaz has so many different mixes available, from quick breads to cookies, muffins to cobblers. They have got you covered. But, being the peanut butter person that I am, I was drawn to the peanut butter cookie mix.

For these bars, I used their peanut butter cookie mixand just baked the entire mix in a 9×13″ pan.

I topped it with two more easy-to-make layers- a creamy peanut butter nougat and a smooth chocolate peanut butter layer. Peanut butter in every layer? Heck YES.

So grab yourself a cup of milk and cut yourself a bite. These are dangerously good.

We won’t even judge you if you eat the whole pan.

could i use peanut butter chips in place of peanut butter.

For this recipe, the only place we recommend replacing peanut butter with the peanut butter chips, is for the top layer.

Melt peanut butter chips and milk chocolate chips together, to create the top layer.

The PB Bomb Bars are outstanding. Used my own peanut butter cookie recipe as I did not have the mix at home. I did follow the remainder of the recipe exactly. I doubled the recipe and delighted many co-workers.
