Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 1 box chocolate instant pudding mix (3.4 oz)
  • 1.75 cups whole milk Use whole milk for richer texture.
  • 1 package mini Reese’s PB Cups, chopped (8 oz) Chop PB cups roughly for pockets of peanut butter.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 13×9-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and chocolate instant pudding mix until smooth and glossy.
  3. Add the chocolate cake mix to the pudding mixture and stir until combined into a thick, luscious batter.
  4. Coarsely chop the mini Reese’s PB Cups and fold them into the batter.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the edges pull away slightly from the pan and a toothpick in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  2. Cool slightly before slicing and serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Time-saver: Chop PB cups while the oven preheats. If batter seems too dry, add 1–2 tablespoons milk. For a deeper chocolate note, stir in a teaspoon of instant espresso.
