Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup mini peanut butter cups, chopped
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped Reese’s or other peanut butter candies

Wet Ingredients

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

Optional

  • Chocolate syrup for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to ensure the cake doesn’t stick during baking.
  2. Layer Candy: Scatter the chopped mini peanut butter cups and chocolate chips evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a flavorful base.
  3. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Drizzle the entire can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the candy layer to add sweetness and moisture to the dessert.
  4. Dollop Peanut Butter: Spoon dollops of creamy peanut butter evenly across the dish to infuse rich peanut flavor throughout the cake.
  5. Sprinkle Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the yellow cake mix over all the layers without stirring, which allows the cake to bake into a layered texture.
  6. Pour Melted Butter: Pour the melted butter evenly over the cake mix to help it moisten and bake into a crisp, golden crust.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the cake is bubbling around the edges, indicating it’s fully cooked.
  8. Cool and Decorate: Let the cake cool slightly, then top with the extra chopped peanut butter candies and drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • You can substitute the yellow cake mix with a white or vanilla cake mix for a slightly different flavor.
  • For a nut-free version, use peanut butter alternatives and ensure peanut candy replacements.
  • Allow the cake to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to let it set for easier slicing.
  • Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
