Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (approximately 15.25 oz) Chocolate cake mix
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter chips
- as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, melted butter, and milk. Stir until well mixed and the batter is thick and smooth.
Add the creamy peanut butter to the batter and stir until it's fully incorporated.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and peanut butter chips to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter). Be careful not to overbake, as the brownies should remain fudgy.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
