- 1 ½ cups milk (375mL)
- 1 bag Reese’s peanut butter cups minis (8 oz/226g, unwrapped)
- Cream Cheese Peanut Butter Layer:

- ½ cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat a 13″x9″ (33×23 cm) baking pan with non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine one box of chocolate cake mix, chocolate pudding mix, and milk. Stir until smooth, then fold in the Reese’s mini peanut butter cups. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the cake batter in the pan.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix from the remaining box evenly over the cream cheese mixture. Drizzle melted butter across the top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
- Once cooled, spread the Cool Whip evenly over the top. Sprinkle chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups over the Cool Whip and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
- Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
Notes
For an extra chocolatey touch, add chocolate chips to the cake batter. Let the cake cool completely before adding Cool Whip to prevent melting.
