Ingredients

1 box chocolate cake mix

1 package (3.9 oz) chocolate instant pudding mix

2 cups milk (room temperature preferred)

2 cups mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, roughly chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.

Make pudding base: In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk until smooth and slightly thickened.

Add cake mix: Stir in chocolate cake mix until just combined — the batter will be thick.

Add candy: Fold in most of the chopped mini Reese’s, saving some for topping.

Assemble and bake: Pour batter into prepared dish, smooth the top, and sprinkle remaining Reese’s over it.

Bake: Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool and serve: Let cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Do not overmix — it keeps the texture soft and fudgy.

Roughly chopped Reese’s add melty peanut butter pockets throughout the cake.

Serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or drizzle with chocolate/peanut butter sauce.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for longer.
