Buckeye Bars
1 chocolate cake mix or devil's food, 2-layer size (about 18
1/2 ounces)
1/3 cup melted butter
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup chopped peanuts (You can also use pecans, walnuts or
other nuts, if you prefer.)
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk, Eagle Brand
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
Butter a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter,
and eggs; cut in with pastry blender until evenly
mixed and crumbly. Stir in chopped peanuts. Reserve 1 1/2
cups of the crumbs and press remaining crumbs over the
bottom of the prepared baking pan.
In another bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk with the
peanut butter until well blended. (I microwaved the mixture
for 30 seconds to make it easier to mix.) Spread peanut
butter mixture over the crust layer. Sprinkle
with the remaining reserved crumbs. Bake at 350? for 17 to
20 minutes, or until set. Cool before cutting. The original
recipe called for it to be baked for 25 ? 30 minutes, but at
least in my oven that would be far too long and cause the
mixture to burn.
