Hand Mixer

Ingredients

2 ½ cups Miniature Marshmallows*
1 box Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix (15.25 oz or 16.5 oz)
1 ¼ cups Water
1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
⅓ cup Canola or Vegetable Oil
3 lg Eggs
1 cup (6 oz) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9"x13" baking dish.
Add the marshmallows to the baking dish, spread out evenly.
In a large mixing bowl, add the cake mix, water, peanut butter, oil, and the eggs. Beat on low speed using a hand mixer for about 1 minute. Then beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Pour the batter over the marshmallows. Spread evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the batter and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Cool on a wire rack. Serve with dollops of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or plain.

Notes

*The marshmallows won't be visible when cake is baked. They add a touch of sweetness and help make the cake light and fluffy.
