Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1½ cups chopped peanut butter cups (plus extra for garnish)
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • Optional: whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Base:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Spread the creamy peanut butter evenly over the bottom of the prepared dish.

Layer the Ingredients:

  1. Sprinkle half of the chopped peanut butter cups over the peanut butter layer.
  2. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the candy layer.
  3. Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the top.

Add Butter and Bake:

  1. Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, covering as much as possible.
  2. Sprinkle the milk chocolate chips and the remaining chopped peanut butter cups over the top.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and slightly crisp.

Serve:

  1. Allow the cake to cool for 10–15 minutes. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.

Notes

  • For extra crunch: Add chopped peanuts or pretzels to the top before baking.
  • Substitute options: Use Reese’s Pieces or mini peanut butter cups for variation.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
