Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup butter (melted)
- 2 eggs
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix the Cake Base: Combine the cake mix, melted butter, and one egg. Stir until well mixed and press into the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Peanut Butter Layer: Beat together the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and remaining eggs, mixing until fully combined. Spread the mixture over the cake base.
- Add the Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly on top of the peanut butter layer.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the edges are golden, and the center is set but still slightly gooey. The center should jiggle slightly when touched.
- Cool and Slice: Let it cool for 15 minutes before slicing into squares.
Notes
- For a firmer texture, bake a little longer, but be careful not to dry it out.
- Use crunchy peanut butter for a richer peanut flavor.
- Drizzle melted chocolate on top for more chocolate goodness.
