Ingredients

Scale

  3. 2 cups whole milk
  4. ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  5. ½ cup butter, melted
  6. 1 cup mini peanut butter cups, chopped
  7. 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  8. ½ cup chopped peanuts (optional)
  9. Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare Pudding:

    • In a bowl, whisk pudding mix and milk until smooth. Let it thicken slightly.
  3. Assemble Cake Layers:

    • Pour the prepared pudding into the greased baking dish.
    • Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the pudding layer.
  4. Add Toppings:

    • Drizzle melted butter and peanut butter over the top, swirling gently with a knife.
    • Scatter chopped peanut butter cups, chocolate chips, and chopped peanuts (if using) evenly over the surface.
  5. Bake:

    • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly gooey.
  6. Serve Warm:

    • Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before serving warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For an extra peanut butter flavor, use peanut butter chips instead of milk chocolate chips.
  • Substitute chopped peanuts with crushed pretzels for added crunch.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
