Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (about 15.25 oz)
- 1 cup peanut butter, melted
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 bag mini peanut butter cups (about 12 oz), unwrapped and halved
- 1 stick unsalted butter (½ cup), sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Pour the melted peanut butter evenly into the bottom of the baking dish.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips and halved mini peanut butter cups over the peanut butter layer.
- Evenly pour the dry chocolate cake mix over the top, spreading it out without mixing.
- Distribute the slices of butter across the entire surface of the cake mix.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and the edges are crisp.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or topped with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- For an extra peanut butter punch, swirl a few dollops of peanut butter into the cake mix layer before baking.
- This dessert is best served warm but can also be reheated.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
