Ingredients
1 box chocolate cake mix
1 package instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups milk
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups mini peanut butter cups, chopped
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup crushed peanut butter sandwich cookies
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth.
3. Pour the pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
4. Warm the peanut butter slightly, then drizzle or spoon it over the pudding layer.
5. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the peanut butter.
6. Sprinkle 1 cup of the chopped mini peanut butter cups across the top.
7. Evenly sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix over all the layers.
8. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix.
9. Scatter the chocolate chips and crushed peanut butter sandwich cookies on top.
10. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the top is set and the center is warm and gooey.
11. Let the cake rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
12. Top with the remaining peanut butter cups before serving, if desired.
Notes
Warm the peanut butter for a few seconds in the microwave so it spreads more easily over the pudding layer.
Let the cake rest before serving so the layers can settle without losing that gooey texture.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the best flavor and texture contrast.
