Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix cake mix, egg, peanut butter and canola oil in a large bowl. Mix with large spoon (or hands) until it makes a crumbly dough. Press 3/4 dough into the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 inch pan.
- Set the 1/4 dough mixture aside.
- Pour entire can of sweetened condensed milk over the pressed dough. Then sprinkle peanuts, peanut butter chips, and Reese's on top. The remaining dough should be a little crumbly, sprinkle what's left over the condensed milk and toppings. Most of the middle layer should be covered.
- Place in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
- Cool for at least 45 minutes before serving, or dig in with a spoon right out of the oven for a gooey warm peanut butter treat! ;)

Tips:
- Soften your butter: This will make it easier to cream together with the sugar and eggs, resulting in a smoother batter.
- Use a quality peanut butter: The better the peanut butter, the better your bars will taste. Look for a peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts and no added sugar or salt.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the bars before cutting: This will help them to set and make them easier to cut.
- Store the bars in an airtight container: This will help them to stay fresh for up to 3 days.
