Ingredients
  

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) Devil's Food Cake Mix approx. 432g
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, melted 226g
  • 1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips 170g
  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter 256g
  • 10 Full-Size Peanut Butter Cups, unwrapped
  • 0.5 cup Mini Peanut Butter Cups, roughly chopped 100g

Equipment

  • 1 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) Baking Dish
  • 1 Microwave-safe bowl
  • 1 Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the dry cake mix into a 9x13 inch baking dish and spread evenly. Drizzle the melted butter over the top. Do not stir.
  2. Sprinkle the milk chocolate chips over the cake mix. In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the creamy peanut butter for 30-45 seconds until pourable, then pour and spread it over the chocolate chips.
  3. Gently press the 10 full-size peanut butter cups into the peanut butter layer. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the edges are bubbly and the center is mostly set.
  4. Let the cake cool for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with the chopped mini peanut butter cups and serve warm.

Notes

Do Not Stir: Resist the urge to mix the cake mix and butter to ensure distinct, delicious layers.
Don't Overbake: For the gooiest result, remove the cake from the oven as soon as the edges are bubbling.
Let It Rest: Allowing the cake to cool for 15 minutes is crucial for the molten layers to set properly before serving.
