Ingredients
Cake Batter
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients required as per package)
- 1/2 cup milk
Filling and Toppings
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Prepare Batter: Prepare the chocolate cake batter according to the package instructions, including adding any additional ingredients such as eggs or oil as required. Pour the batter evenly into a greased slow cooker insert.
- Add Peanut Butter: Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter evenly over the surface of the cake batter. These pockets will melt into the cake during cooking, adding rich, creamy flavor.
- Top with Candy and Chocolate: Sprinkle the chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups and chocolate chips evenly over the batter and peanut butter drops to infuse the cake with gooey chocolate and peanut butter bits.
- Drizzle Sweetened Condensed Milk: Evenly drizzle the sweetened condensed milk on top of the entire mixture to enhance its moisture and sweetness.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 2 to 3 hours, or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs but not wet batter. Avoid overcooking to keep it moist.
- Cool and Serve: Once cooked, allow the cake to cool slightly in the slow cooker before serving. For extra indulgence, serve warm with a scoop of ice cream.
Notes
- Avoid overcooking to keep the cake moist and gooey.
- Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert experience.
- Make sure to grease the slow cooker thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- You can substitute milk with a dairy-free alternative if desired.
