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.
