🍫 Peanut Butter Cup Dump Cake 🥜
Ingredients
1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup mini peanut butter cups, chopped
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional, for crunch)
Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
Prepare the Pudding Layer:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth and slightly thickened. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to set.
Assemble the Layers:
Pour the prepared pudding evenly into the bottom of the greased baking dish. Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the pudding layer.
Add the Peanut Butter and Butter:
Drizzle the melted butter and creamy peanut butter over the cake mix. Use a knife or spoon to gently swirl the peanut butter and butter into the top layer, being careful not to mix it completely.
Top with Peanut Butter Cups and Chocolate Chips:
Scatter the chopped mini peanut butter cups and milk chocolate chips over the top of the cake. Lightly press them into the batter. If desired, sprinkle chopped peanuts over the top for added crunch.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly gooey.
Serve:
Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat!
