I was trying to figure out what dessert I should make for a family get together that is gluten free. I tested out this recipe the about two weeks. It was a big hit! I found it on another blog- The Girl Who Ate Everything.
I gave a few to the neighbors and they liked them. We had a whole pan left; so Carl had taken some to the guys at the bachelor party he went to.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars
by Greta White
1 (18.25) package plain yellow cake mix ( I used Betty Cocker’s Gluten Free Yellow Cake Mix, couldn’t even tell the difference)
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup creamy peanut butter ( I used Sun Butter-made from sunflower seeds instead of peanut butter)
2 eggs
1 (12 oz) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 Tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup coconut (optional…my sister did not like the texture of it in there)Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2) Combine cake mix, melted butter, peanut butter, and eggs in a large bowl using a mixer or spoon. Press this into a 9X13 pan reserving 1 1/2 cup of the mixture to crumble on top.

They were very good and I will be making them again for sure!
Happy Baking!
