Notes
Swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter for a flavor variation. You can also experiment with different cake mix flavors, like red velvet or devil’s food. Add chopped nuts for extra crunch. Store leftovers at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness. Reheat individual servings in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or warm the whole dish in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.
