Ingredients
  

Cake Ingredients
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (15.25 oz) Any brand works fine
  • 1 box chocolate instant pudding mix (3.4 oz) Adds moistness and creaminess
  • 1.75 cups milk Whole milk = richer texture
  • 1 package mini Reese's PB Cups (8 oz), chopped Chop coarsely for pockets of PB

Method

  2. In a large bowl, whisk the milk and chocolate instant pudding mix until smooth and lump-free.
  3. Add the chocolate cake mix to the pudding. Stir until it forms a thick batter.
  4. Fold in the chopped mini Reese's gently, ensuring even distribution.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  2. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Time-saver: Use pre-chopped peanut butter cups. Common mistake: Don’t overmix after adding cake mix. Simple variation: Stir in a teaspoon of instant espresso powder for deeper flavor.
