Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
  • 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini peanut butter cups, chopped
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 ½ cups water

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Spread the dry cake mix evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Dollop spoonfuls of peanut butter across the top of the cake mix, spreading it out slightly but leaving some gaps.

Sprinkle the chocolate chips and chopped mini peanut butter cups evenly over the peanut butter.

Pour the melted butter over the top, followed by the water. Do not stir the ingredients; just let them sit on top.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cake is set and the edges are golden brown.

Let the dump cake cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • You can easily customize this recipe by swapping the milk chocolate chips for dark chocolate or white chocolate chips, or even adding in extra ingredients like chopped nuts or a layer of caramel sauce.

  • If you prefer a slightly firmer cake, you can bake it a little longer, but be careful not to overbake, as the gooey texture is key.

  • For make-ahead convenience, you can prepare the cake in advance and refrigerate it. Simply reheat before serving for a quick and easy dessert.
