Peanut Butter Cup Dump Cake Recipe

Instructions

1️⃣ Prep the Pan & Oven

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter. Set aside.

2️⃣ Make the Pudding Base

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and 2 cups of cold milk until smooth.
2. Let it thicken slightly for 2–3 minutes, then pour evenly into the prepared baking dish.

3️⃣ Add the Cake Mix

• Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the pudding layer. Do not stir.

4️⃣ Swirl the Goodness

1. Drizzle melted butter and creamy peanut butter over the top of the cake mix.
2. Use a spoon or knife to gently swirl the peanut butter and butter into the surface layer—do not fully mix into the pudding below.

5️⃣ Add the Toppings

• Sprinkle chopped mini peanut butter cups and chocolate chips evenly over the top.
• Optionally, add chopped peanuts for a salty crunch contrast.

6️⃣ Bake

• Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is set and bubbling around the edges, with a slightly gooey center.

7️⃣ Cool & Serve
