🍫 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 and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Make the Pudding Layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly, then pour it evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Add the Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the pudding layer, covering it completely.
Drizzle and Swirl: Drizzle the melted butter and peanut butter over the cake mix. Use a spoon or knife to gently swirl the peanut butter and butter into the top layer without fully mixing.
Add Toppings: Scatter the chopped mini peanut butter cups, chocolate chips, and chopped peanuts (if using) over the top. Lightly press them into the batter.
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!
