Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

These taste like peanut butter brownies....YUM.  I took these into work and was asked for the recipe before I even had time to post this blog.  Enjoy.

1 box chocolate cake mix

4 eggs

1 stick melted butter

1 box powdered sugar

1 (8 oz) cream cheese (at room temperature)

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

2 tablespoons peanut butter

1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup peanut butter chips (I use the Reese's version)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish (I use Pam)

In one bowl, combine one box of any chocolate cake mix, two eggs and 1 stick of melted butter.

Spread mixture into prepared dish (this will be your "crust" on the bottom).

In a separate bowl, mix with a hand mixer, one box of powdered sugar, cream cheese, remaining 2 eggs, cocoa powder and peanut butter until smooth. Stir in both chips. Spread on top of crust mixture.

Bake 38-40 minutes.

Cool on counter 30 minutes, then cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 2 days. Cut and serve.
