Description

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Chocolate Cake is a rich, moist, and indulgent dessert made effortlessly in a crockpot. This chocolate cake is enhanced with instant chocolate pudding for extra softness, packed with chopped mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and chocolate and peanut butter chips, delivering the perfect blend of chocolate and peanut butter flavors. It’s an ideal treat for peanut butter and chocolate lovers looking for a simple slow cooker recipe.

Ingredients

Cake Mix

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • Ingredients required for cake mix (typically eggs, oil, and water as per package instructions)

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 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 thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the cake from sticking during cooking.
  2. Make the batter: Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions, typically by combining the cake mix with eggs, oil, and water.
  3. Enhance the batter: Stir in 1 cup of milk and the dry instant chocolate pudding mix until the batter is smooth and evenly combined. This addition makes the cake extra moist and flavorful.
  4. Add mix-ins: Gently fold in the chopped mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chocolate chips, and peanut butter chips to distribute these delicious bits throughout the batter.
  5. Cook the cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared crockpot. Cover and cook on low heat for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the cake is cooked through and set in the center (check doneness with a toothpick).
  6. Cool and serve: Turn off the crockpot and let the cake cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert experience.

Notes

  • Use a crockpot liner for easy cleanup and convenience.
  • Check the cake after 2 hours to prevent overcooking and drying out.
  • Garnish with extra chopped peanut butter cups when serving to add a decorative and flavorful touch.
