Ingredients:
- 1 Box Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix (plus required oil, eggs, and water)
- 8 oz Softened cream cheese
- 1/2 Cup softened butter
- 1/2 Cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 Cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 Cup chocolate chips
- 1 Cup miniature Reese’s peanut butter cups, unwrapped and cut in halves
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, prepare the dark chocolate fudge cake mix according to the package instructions. Pour the cake batter into the greased baking dish and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, butter, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until all 4 cups are incorporated.
- Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture onto the chocolate cake batter in the baking dish and lightly spread it around.
- Sprinkle the halved Reese’s peanut butter cups and chocolate chips evenly over the top of the cake batter.
- Bake for about 45-50 minutes, checking the center with a toothpick after 45 minutes to ensure it comes out clean.
- Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
