Makes: 12 bars

Ingredients

1 box white cake mix
2 eggs
½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted
½ cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup quick oats
½ cup coated chocolate candies
⅓ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method

Heat oven to 350 F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or a large bowl if using a hand mixer, combine cake mix, eggs, butter and peanut butter until incorporated.

Stir in oats, coated chocolate candies and chocolate chips just until combined.

Press dough into prepared baking dish.

Bake 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are browned and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Let cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes until slicing into bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
