Cherished and beloved birthday treats

So many birthdays this month and last! My birthday was just one month ago and contrary to my customary birthday rituals, I did NOT bring birthday treats to share with co-workers. For shame!

Therefore, I am living vicariously through one of my coworkers who kindly brought birthday treats for her own birthday today. Against my better judgment, I just had to have one. What better way to get through a Monday than with peanut butter and chocolate!

Speedy Little Devils

  • 1 (18 0z) box Devil's Food Cake Mix
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 7 oz. marshmallow creme

  1. Combine melted butter and dry cake mix.
  2. Reserve 1 1/2 cups cake mixture for topping.
  3. Put remaining crumb mixture into bottom of ungreased 9x13 inch cake pan.
  4. Top that layer with combined peanut butter and marshmallow mixture & spread evenly.
  5. Crumble remaining mixture on top and press into filling.
  6. Bake 15-20 mins at 350 degrees.
  7. Cool.

I'm told this only takes 30 minutes max to prepare! Love. it. That's why their called "Speedy"! :)

I wanna do research on butter substitutes because this recipe call for a whole heck of a lot! Other substitutions: might be able to use a muffin pan instead of cake pan, Skippy Natural peanut butter (yummm!), and I've also heard of organic marshmallow creme (?).

Do you have a favorite birthday treat recipe? I'd love to see it!

Best wishes to all Spring birthdays!
