Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 1 3.9 oz box instant chocolate pudding mix (dry)
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter melted
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter sliced into thin pats
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped peanut butter cups plus extra for topping
  • Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Layer Ingredients:
  1. Sprinkle the dry chocolate pudding mix evenly over the bottom of the dish.
  2. Pour the milk over the pudding mix and gently spread.
  3. Drizzle the melted peanut butter over the milk.
  4. Evenly sprinkle the chocolate cake mix on top—do not stir.
  5. Place butter pats evenly over the cake mix layer.
  6. Top with chopped peanut butter cups.
  7. Bake: Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes or until the top is set and bubbly around the edges.
  8. Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Top with extra peanut butter cups, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • For an extra gooey cake, use warm milk or swirl the peanut butter in after pouring.
  • You can use mini peanut butter cups for easier chopping or even add a few chocolate chips for more chocolatey richness.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge and warmed up for a few seconds in the microwave—still delicious the next day!
