Ingredients Needed for Reese's Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
- 1 box yellow cake mix, like Pillsbury
- eggs
- vanilla
- melted butter
- almond milk milk, cream or water will also do
- salt
- milk chocolate chips
or semi-sweet chocolate chips if you want it not as sweet
- peanut butter chips
- Mini Reese Cups
or peanut butter cups of choice
How to Make Reese's Chocolate Chip Cake Mix Cookie Bars
- Take an 8x8
or 9x9 pan, and spray with a nonstick spray
. (For thicker 8x8 and thinner 9x9, I prefer the thicker, as pictured.)
- Using mixer or by hand, mix cake mix, salt, eggs, vanilla, milk, melted butter until combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips, peanut butter chips and Mini Reese Cups.
- Spread batter into the pan and smooth out with an angled spatula that has been sprayed with a non-stick spray or use lightly spray hands with non-stick spray and press into pan. Dough will be very sticky.
- Barely press some chocolate chips and Reese Cups into the top of the cookie. The bars will rise, so you don't want to push them deep into the cookie batter.
- Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes, until light golden brown.
- Allow to cool completely on cooling rack before cutting.

Cathy says
I'd like to try using peanut butter instead of butter - would it be the same amount?
