- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup peanut butter cups (chopped, plus extra for topping)
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Optional: Whipped cream or ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or coat it with non-stick spray.
- Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine chocolate cake mix, peanut butter, milk, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until smooth and well blended.

- Bake: Pour batter into prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Notes
Swap out peanut butter cups for candies like Snickers or M&M's for variety. Use gluten-free cake mix for a gluten-free version. For extra indulgence, top with cream cheese frosting or chocolate ganache. Store at room temperature up to 3 days or freeze for 2 months.
