Brownie Peanut Butter Magic Bars

Wellll hellllloooooo beautiful brownie peanut butter magic bar. How you doin’?

{Tell me the truth, you just said that in your best Joey voice, right? Could there be a better TV show?}

Brownie Peanut Butter Magic Bars

These kind of speak for themselves, am I right? I think I *may* have just blown your diets to pieces. Sorry.

Actually…I’m not really sorry. If I can’t avoid sugar than neither can you! ;)

I’ve been on a magic bar kick lately. I made monster magic bars, cookies ‘n cream magic bars, almond white chocolate magic bars, and I have a few more save to share with you. They are just SO easy to make and so sinfully good! The possibilities are endless.

These babies…well. The crust is a brownie. You know that whole “make a crust out of cake mix” idea? With one stick of butter and an egg? I did it with brownies.

{You’re welcome.}

Then I chopped up some peanut butter cups and added peanut butter chips and chocolate chips along with my favorite drink, sweetened condensed milk.

These brownies are a mouthful. They are a meal. Skip lunch and eat two of these bad boys. Take that Weight Watchers!

Brownie Peanut Butter Magic Bars

Could there be a better magic bar? I’m not sure…

Brownie Peanut Butter Magic Bars

Ingredients

  • 1 box Brownie Mix (19.5 ounces)
  • 1 stick butter, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 8 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter chips
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13” pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
  2. Beat brownie mix, butter, and egg in a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until combined. (Mixture will be thick.) Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. Sprinkle the chopped peanut butter cups, peanut butter chips, and chocolate chips over the brownie crust. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the candy.
  4. Bake 28-30 minutes, until edges of brownies begin to brown. Let cool completely before slicing into bars. (Little goes a log way - these babies are rich! Cut small bars for best consumption.)

    Thanks for the linky love girlfriend! A brownie base is simply genius. I cannot get enough of these magic/7 layer bars and may have like, four recipes to be posted. Ugh, I am stuck in a throw-everything-on-top-and-pour-scmilk-on-it rut.

    Oh my gosh. I actually don’t make much with SC milk these days. Because I end up eating half of it with a spoon.

    This might be a stupid question, but do you mix the brownies up according to the directions on the box, and add the butter and egg? Or is it just the dry mix plus butter and egg? Slow…

    Brownies always qualify as a meal around these parts! ;) What new camera lens did you get? Your pictures really are looking amazing. I got a new camera for Christmas and I’m totally afraid of it! Well… mostly afraid after all that money hubby spent that my pictures still won’t be great… I’m afraid to look at them!!

      Yay! That’s great! I got a 35mm f/1.8 prime lens, although I’m reading all these bloggers getting new lenses and they are 50mm not 35. But I like mine. :) The pics will be awesome. It’s amazing how much faster I take pics now. Only 75 or so for each food, ha!

    I was wondering if you perhaps have a Recipe for Big Chocolate Chip Cookies? I’ve been searching for a very long time and still have yet to find what I’m looking for. What I’m searching for are like Big Chocolate Chip Cookies that are more Cake-Like? Not sure if you have anything along those lines but your Recipe for the Brownies are absolutely Delish!!! I’m kinda a Brownie Nut as well as Cookie. Lol Well thank you so much and God Bless!!!

    [...] For some reason, probably the 12 pounds of butter, I never made her Gooey Butter Cake. But I always wanted to try it. Lately, I’ve been using a similar concept and making crusts out of cake and brownie mix. You know the deal, right? 1 stick of butter, 1 egg, and a cake mix. It makes a great bottom layer for magic bars. [...]
