Peanut Butter Cup Dump Cake Recipe

This Peanut Butter Cup Dump Cake is the ultimate dessert for any chocolate and peanut butter lover! It’s so easy to make and incredibly delicious! 😍🎉 Perfect for parties, potlucks, or just because you need a sweet treat. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini peanut butter cups, halved
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Batter Base:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, creamy peanut butter, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs. Mix until smooth and well combined. The batter will be thick but creamy.
  3. Layer the Chocolate Chips:
    Stir in half of the chocolate chips into the batter. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  4. Add the Peanut Butter Cups:
    Gently press the halved mini peanut butter cups into the top of the batter, spacing them out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top.
  5. Bake:
    Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few crumbs are okay, but no wet batter).
  6. Cool and Dust with Powdered Sugar:
    Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for a beautiful finishing touch.
  7. Serve and Enjoy:
    Slice into squares and serve! This rich, gooey cake is perfect on its own or paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Tips:

  • For an even richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
  • If you love crunchy textures, swap creamy peanut butter for chunky peanut butter.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Why You’ll Love It:
This Peanut Butter Cup Dump Cake combines the best of both worlds—rich chocolate and creamy peanut butter—in one decadent dessert. With minimal prep and maximum flavor, it’s a crowd-pleaser every time!

Enjoy!
