Does anyone recall my love for Jif Whips? I made this Whipped Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting and immediately posted it the following day. Jif Whips are what I call a “yellow light food”- which means I need to approach it cautiously, because overindulgence is absolutely going to happen. So I first used it in a frosting and now I am using it for a Peanut Butter Cake Bar.
I adapted this recipe from one of my favorite bloggers, Dorothy at Crazy For Crust. She did a brownie version of this bar. I changed it up using a cake mix base, added some Jif Whips and used crumbled brownies on top. The crumbled brownies were really just a way for me to allow myself to finish the brownies left over from the previous project. There is no guilt in eating brownies that are baked into a cake bar, trust me! Head over to My Cooking Spot for the recipe!

This is truly an inspired dessert. I haven’t tried Jif Whips yet but next time I see it I am picking some up. Pinned.
Hi Cathy! Beware, it is deliciously addicting! But the perfect consistency for baking and eating with a spoon! Think light and fluffy.
Looks yummy! I like that “bite” taken out of the one bar!
It was a good bite!
I wish I had some right now! I love using cake mixes for other sweet treats besides cakes. You make these look amazing! Pinning!
Thanks Gloria!
These look AMAZING!
Thanks Dorothy! You continue to inspire us all!
I’ve never heard of Jif whips before and now I’m scared because it sounds like something I want to eat all the time. Just like these delicious cake bars!
Haha that’s true. It’s more addicting than Nutella and that’s a bold statement!
