Peanut Butter-Ganache Bars

Peanut Butter-Ganache Bars

Blogger Brooke McLay from Cheeky Kitchen shares a favorite recipe. Betty Crocker cake mix is turned into a crunchy bar cookie, topped with a layer of peanut butter, and finished off with a thick layer of ganache. A simple, decadent dessert.

I entered this recipe into our local fair and won a blue-ribbon! I didn't have chocolate cake mix at the house, so I substituted white cake mix (and I didn't have whipping cream so I sub. milk instead). They turned out great! I actually made it in a 9x9 pan, so they were a little bit thicker, and I liked the thickness (just cut the pieces smaller). They are very good and we have a blue ribbon to show for it!

These were good but very sweet. The peanut butter layer didn't have the peanut butter flavor I was hoping for. I've found much better peanut butter/chocolate bars I'd make before I make these again.
