Ingredients

Scale

Cake Mix and Liquids

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (devil’s food or any chocolate flavor)
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk (can use any milk)
  • 1/2 cup melted butter (real butter preferred)

Peanut Butter Layer

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (can substitute crunchy if preferred)

Add-ins

  • 1 cup mini peanut butter cups
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (milk chocolate can be used)

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking.
  2. Prepare Pan: Lightly grease or butter a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking and to help create a crispy bottom crust.
  3. Layer Peanut Butter: Spread the 1 cup of creamy peanut butter evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. This creates a rich, smooth base layer of peanut butter flavor.
  4. Add Cake Mix: Sprinkle the entire box of dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the peanut butter layer without pressing it down.
  5. Pour Milk and Butter: In a separate bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of milk with 1/2 cup melted butter. Pour this mixture evenly over the cake mix, allowing the liquids to absorb and moisten the dry cake mix, which creates a pudding-like texture once baked.
  6. Top with Mix-ins: Sprinkle 1 cup of mini peanut butter cups and 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly on top for a melty, chocolaty finish.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs. The edges should be bubbling slightly.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving to let the layers set. Serve warm for gooey indulgence or room temperature for firmer slices.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, opt for whole milk and real butter instead of substitutes.
  • Creamy peanut butter gives smoother layering, but crunchy can add texture.
  • If you prefer less sweetness, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet or milk chocolate.
  • Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Reheat individual servings in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds to enjoy warm.
  • This recipe is easily doubled for larger gatherings using a larger baking dish.
