Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 1 package instant chocolate pudding mix (3.9 oz)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups milk
  • ½ cup melted unsalted butter

Add-ins

  • 1 cup peanut butter chips
  • 1 cup chopped mini peanut butter cups (plus extra for topping)

Other

  • Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Pudding and Milk: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and 1 ¾ cups of milk until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken slightly, about 2 minutes.
  3. Layer Pudding: Pour the prepared pudding evenly into the greased baking dish, spreading it out to cover the bottom fully.
  4. Add Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the pudding layer without stirring or mixing layers together.
  5. Add Peanut Butter Components: Evenly scatter 1 cup of peanut butter chips and 1 cup of chopped mini peanut butter cups over the cake mix layer.
  6. Drizzle Butter: Drizzle the melted unsalted butter evenly over the top of all the layers to help the cake bake moist and flavorful.
  7. Bake the Cake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the top appears set and slightly firm.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the cake to cool for 15 to 20 minutes. Top with additional chopped mini peanut butter cups if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
  • You can substitute the chocolate cake mix with devil’s food or fudge cake mix for a richer chocolate flavor.
  • Ensure not to mix the layers once assembled to maintain the distinct layered textures.
  • This dessert can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
