Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 can (400 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 115 g unsalted butter, melted

Chocolate Components

  • 1.5 cups chopped peanut butter cups, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 box (432 g) chocolate cake mix, dry
  • 175 g milk chocolate chips

Optional Toppings

  • Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Peanut Butter and Condensed Milk: In a bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and well blended. This mixture will create a gooey base for the cake.
  3. Layer Ingredients: Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Then sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the peanut butter layer. Scatter the chopped peanut butter cups and milk chocolate chips on top.
  4. Add Butter: Drizzle the melted unsalted butter evenly over the top of all the layers to ensure a rich and moist texture when baked.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the top is set.
  6. Cool and Garnish: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra chopped peanut butter cups for added texture and flavor.
  7. Serve: Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

  • You can substitute crunchy peanut butter if you prefer a little extra texture.
  • Ensure the cake mix is evenly layered but do not stir it into the peanut butter base.
  • The baking time may vary depending on your oven; check for bubbling edges to confirm doneness.
  • For a gluten free version, use gluten free chocolate cake mix.
  • Storing leftovers in the refrigerator will keep the cake fresh for up to 3 days; reheat gently before serving.
