Description
A rich, gooey, and irresistible chocolate cake loaded with Reese’s, creamy peanut butter, and cream cheese swirls — every bite tastes like molten peanut butter chocolate heaven!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus eggs, oil, and water per package)
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- ½ cup Reese’s peanut butter chips
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped
- ¼ cup mini Reese’s pieces or peanut butter chips for topping
- Optional: chocolate drizzle, caramel, or sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan generously with butter or nonstick spray.
- Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to package directions. Stir in chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add melted butter, peanut butter, and vanilla, then gradually mix in powdered sugar until thick and creamy. Drop spoonfuls of this mixture over the cake batter — don’t spread completely; let it swirl naturally as it bakes.
- Sprinkle chopped Reese’s cups evenly on top and lightly press them into the batter.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, until edges are firm and the top looks cracked and molten. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Enjoy gooey, peanut-buttery pockets in every bite!
Notes
Best served slightly warm with a drizzle of chocolate or caramel. Perfect for peanut butter lovers!
