Description

Indulge in the creamy, chocolatey bliss of this Peanut Butter Cup Dump Cake—an easy dessert that brings joy to any occasion!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15 oz) chocolate cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup peanut butter cups (mini or regular)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Whipped topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, and vegetable oil. Mix until just combined; lumps are acceptable.
  3. Add Eggs: Crack in the two eggs and stir until smooth, creating a batter that resembles melted chocolate.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in one cup of chocolate chips to enhance the batter's richness.
  5. Layer with Peanut Butter Cups: Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish. Chop the peanut butter cups and sprinkle them over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top.
  6. Bake and Cool: Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean (or slightly gooey for extra decadence). Allow to cool for at least ten minutes before serving.
  7. Serve: For an indulgent experience, serve warm with whipped topping on top if desired.
