Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Candy

  • 1 cup mini peanut butter cups, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped Reese’s or other peanut butter candies

Optional

  • Chocolate syrup (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare the dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent the cake from sticking.
  2. Add candy layer: Evenly scatter the chopped mini peanut butter cups and chocolate chips across the bottom of the greased baking dish, creating a rich candy base.
  3. Drizzle condensed milk: Pour the entire can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the candy pieces to add sweetness and moisture.
  4. Dollop peanut butter: Spoon dollops of creamy peanut butter evenly throughout the dish. This adds gooey, nutty pockets inside the cake.
  5. Sprinkle cake mix: Evenly layer the dry yellow cake mix over the top without stirring. This creates the cake base layer that will bake into a soft topping.
  6. Pour melted butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the dry cake mix. This helps the cake bake with a golden, crispy crust.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. This signals the cake is cooked through.
  8. Cool and garnish: Let the cake cool slightly. Then sprinkle the extra chopped Reese’s or peanut butter candies on top and drizzle with chocolate syrup, if desired, before serving.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for smooth pockets of flavor; chunky peanut butter may alter texture.
  • For an extra fudgy cake, sprinkle additional chocolate chips halfway through baking.
  • Allow the cake to cool a bit to help it set and make slicing easier.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To make this dessert gluten free, use a gluten free yellow cake mix.
