Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup mini peanut butter cups, chopped
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup chopped Reese’s or other peanut butter candies

Optional Toppings

  • Chocolate syrup (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer Candies: Evenly scatter the chopped mini peanut butter cups and chocolate chips across the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the first flavorful layer.
  3. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Drizzle the entire can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the candy layer to add sweetness and moisture.
  4. Dot Peanut Butter: Place spoonfuls of creamy peanut butter evenly throughout the dish, spreading dollops without mixing to keep pockets of peanut butter flavor.
  5. Top with Cake Mix: Sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly across the top of the dish without stirring, ensuring the dry ingredients cover all fillings.
  6. Pour Melted Butter: Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix layer to ensure moistness and a golden crust during baking.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbling, signaling the cake is cooked through and the flavors have melded.
  8. Cool and Garnish: Allow the cake to cool slightly to set. Then top with extra chopped peanut butter candies for added texture and drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired for an extra touch of sweetness.

Notes

  • You can substitute the yellow cake mix with chocolate cake mix for a richer chocolate flavor.
  • Adding white chocolate chips provides a sweeter, contrasting flavor to the peanut butter and chocolate.
  • Incorporate crushed pretzels on top before baking for a delightful salty crunch.
  • Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
  • Reheat individual slices in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds for the best warm, gooey texture before serving.
