Taste of Home

This recipe is another fantastic Taste of Home recipe. I found this recipe several years ago in one of my many Taste of Home cookbooks. The name of the recipe book was called, Fast Fixins’ with Mixes. (I don’t think I’ve ever made a bad recipe from any Taste of Home cookbook.) So when I needed a quick recipe to make for a party last weekend, I reached for this one. It was a huge hit!

Made With

The cast of characters in this recipe is short and sweet. One yellow cake mix, eggs, oil, one can sweetened condensed milk, milk chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter. I’m not sure about you but I keep these ingredients on hand at all times. When cake mixes are on sale in my area for $1.00, I stock up for recipes just like this. Same goes for sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips. Even though I have trouble keeping chocolate chips in my house. I like to sneak a handful here and there.

Products used in this recipe: Duncan Hines yellow cake mix, Hershey’s milk chocolate chips and Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
