Ingredients
1 whole Chocolate Cake Mix (box)1 cup Water
1⁄2 cup Vegetable Oil
3 whole Eggs
8 ounces Cream Cheese (softened)
1⁄2 cup Unsalted Butter (melted)
2 cups Powdered Sugar
1 cup Peanut Butter (creamy)
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 1⁄2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 cup Peanut Butter Cups (chopped)
1⁄2 cup Peanut Butter Candies (mini)
1 pinch Salt
Directions
- In a large bowl, add cake mix, water, oil and eggs then whisk until smooth. Pour the cake batter into a 9" x 13" baking pan sprayed with cooking spray.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer with paddle attachment add cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Turn the mixer on low and mix until creamy and fluffy.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter cream over the cake batter. Use a knife to swirl the mixture into the chocolate batter to create a marbled effect.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top then add chopped peanut butter cups and peanut butter candies. Place in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until the edges are set but the center remains slightly gooey.
- Allow the cake to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm for a molten texture or chilled for a firmer bite.
