Chocolate Peanut Butter Marshmallows

Cook Time: twenty minutes

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with non-stick foil. 

one stick (8 Tbsp or 1/2 cup) butter, melted but not hot

one box (18.25 ounces) dark chocolate cake mix

one (16 ounces) jar marshmallow fluff

one cup peanut butter, chunky or smooth

Preparation:

In a giant bowl, merge cake mix & melted butter with a fork until crumbly. Remove 3/4 cup & set aside. Spread the remainder of the cake mix crumbles evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking pan. 

Remove lid of marshmallow fluff & warm in the microwave on High for 30 seconds. Drop dollops of marshmallow fluff evenly over the cake mix crumbles. Gently smooth marshmallow fluff over the crumbles, without dislodging the bottom layer. 

Sprinkle reserved cake mix crumbles over the top of the top layer. 

Warm the peanut butter in the microwave 30 seconds on High. Drizzle evenly over the marshmallow layer. 

Bake 15 to twenty minutes, until marshmallow pops through & begins to lightly brown. 

Chilled before cutting. These are rich, like sweet bars, so cut them little. Store covered at room temperature. 

Yield: 24 to 36 servings, depending on cut size
