Ingredients
– 1 box yellow cake mix (store-bought)
– 2 cups chopped peanut butter cups
– 1 cup melted butter (or Greek yogurt for a healthier option)
– 3 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Optional: Chopped nuts, caramel sauce, crushed pretzels, or chocolate syrup for added flair
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Spread 1 cup of chopped peanut butter cups evenly across the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix over the peanut butter cup layer, ensuring full coverage.
- Drizzle melted butter (or Greek yogurt) across the surface. Crack the eggs on top and add vanilla extract.
- Gently mix the ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain texture.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center bubbles slightly.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing. Serve with optional garnishes like powdered sugar, whipped cream, or extra peanut butter cup pieces.
Notes
– For less sweetness, reduce the amount of peanut butter cups or use semi-sweet varieties.
– Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate/freeze for longer storage.
– Reheat slices briefly in the microwave for a warm, gooey treat.
