With nine sisters, a sister-in-law, a niece, and a mom in our family that are all pretty handy in the kitchen, I thought it would be a great idea for us to pool our recipes together so that the age old question "What should I make for dinner?" will always have a ready answer. Of course, we won't be sharing only dinner recipes. We will be including desserts, side dishes, appetizers and anything else we enjoy making and/or eating, as well as tips and tricks we've picked up along the way. While the main contributors are the Sellers Sisters, we invite all of you to share your faves with us, too! Just email your recipe/tip or put it in the comments and I will turn it into a post for all to see. I hope you enjoy this and find the solution to your dinner dilemma! Enjoy! -Cari-

Peanut Cream Chocolate Bars

I just tried this recipe for the first time last night and it was delicious! Anything with peanut butter and chocolate has to be good, plus it was really easy. It's definitely a winner!



Base:
1 pkg. devil's food cake mix
1/3 c. oil
1 egg

Filling:
1/3 c. sugar
1 egg
3/4 c. peanut butter
8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
3/4 c. chopped nuts (optional)

Mix, in large bowl, the cake mix, oil, and egg at low speed until crumbly. Reserve one cup for topping. Press remaining mixture in bottom of ungreased 9x13x2 inch pan. Bake for 10 minutes at 350.

Beat sugar, peanut butter, cream cheese, and egg until smooth. Spread over baked base. In small bowl, combine reserved base and nuts. Sprinkle over filling and lightly press down. Bake for 15 minutes at 350. Refrigerate for one hour and cut into bars. Store in refrigerator.
