Peanut Butter Cup Dump Cake – Page 2

Instructions

Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Prepare the Pudding

In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and milk until smooth.
Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.

Assemble the Dump Cake

Pour the pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle half of the chopped peanut butter cups over the pudding.
Evenly sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix on top—no need to mix!
Drizzle the melted peanut butter over the cake mix.
Pour the melted butter evenly over the entire cake.
Top with remaining peanut butter cups and chocolate chips (if using).

Bake & Enjoy

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top looks set and slightly crispy but the inside is still gooey.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Serve It Up!

Scoop & enjoy while warm for a molten, gooey treat.
Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Drizzle with extra melted peanut butter or chocolate sauce for a bakery-style finish!

Tips & Variations

Extra Peanut Butter Flavor – Swirl in extra melted peanut butter before baking.
Crunchy Topping – Add crushed pretzels or peanuts for a salty-sweet twist.
Make It a Brownie Dump Cake – Use a brownie mix instead of cake mix for an even fudgier texture.
Dairy-Free Option – Use almond milk and dairy-free chocolate chips.
Add Caramel – Drizzle caramel sauce before baking for a gooey, caramel-filled surprise.
