This moist chocolate cake combines the classic flavors of chocolate and peanut butter, filled with chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and chocolate chips, then cooked slowly to perfection. Topped with a creamy chocolate sauce and perfect for serving warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, this slow cooker dessert is perfect for peanut butter and chocolate lovers wanting a luscious treat without heating up the kitchen.

Ingredients

Cake Base

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • Ingredients required for cake mix (usually eggs, oil, and water as per package instructions)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 package instant chocolate pudding mix

Mix-ins

  • 1 cup mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crockpot: Spray the inside of the crockpot with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Make the Batter: Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions by mixing the required eggs, oil, and water. Then stir in 1 cup of milk and the dry instant chocolate pudding mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add the Mix-ins: Gently fold the chopped mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chocolate chips, and peanut butter chips into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
  4. Cook the Cake: Pour the prepared batter into the sprayed crockpot and level it out. Cover with the lid and cook on low heat for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the cake is fully set in the center and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  5. Cool and Serve: Turn off the crockpot and let the cake cool slightly inside before serving. Serve the warm cake with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream as a delightful finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use a crockpot liner for easy cleanup.
  • Check the cake after 2 hours to avoid overcooking and drying out the cake.
  • Garnish with extra chopped peanut butter cups for an added peanut buttery crunch and visual appeal.
