Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the cake mixture evenly.
Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent the cake from sticking and for easy serving.
Layer Peanut Butter: Spread an even layer of peanut butter on the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create a creamy, rich base layer.
Mix Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, melted butter, and milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended to ensure even baking.
Layer Batter: Pour the chocolate cake batter evenly over the peanut butter layer in the baking dish for a uniform cake base.
Add Toppings: Sprinkle mini peanut butter cups and chocolate chips over the top of the cake batter to add texture and extra peanut butter-chocolate flavor.
Bake: Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully cooked.
Cool: Allow the cake to cool before serving to let it set properly and make slicing easier.

Notes

You can substitute whole milk with any milk alternative like almond or oat milk if preferred.
Use creamy peanut butter for smooth layering, but chunky peanut butter can add extra texture.
Ensure the peanut butter layer is evenly spread to prevent mixing into the cake batter.
For an extra chocolate boost, sprinkle additional chocolate chips before baking.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
