REESE'S CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CUP GOOEY BUTTER CAKE (Adapted from how to nest for less)

If I have time, I’m also making THIS dessert – been wanting to try it. This cake is a version of the “gooey cake” that everyone loves. I thought that since it’s fall, nearing Halloween, a Reese’s peanut butter cup version of the cake would be appropriate. As long as you like peanut butter, how BAD could it be? 😉

Cake:

1 (18 1/4-ounce) package chocolate cake mix

1 egg

8 TBSP butter, melted

Mid Layer:

REESE’S® Peanut Butter Cup Miniatures, chopped

Topping:

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 cup peanut butter

3 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

8 TBSP butter, melted

1 (16-ounce) box powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine cake mix, egg and melted butter. Mix well with electric mixer.

Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 9×13 inch pan.

Next chop the REESE’S® Peanut Butter Cup Miniatures into small pieces.

Spread over the first cake layer.

For the topping, beat the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth.

Next add the eggs, vanilla and melted butter and mix.

Add the powdered sugar and beat together.

Pour the topping over the over the REESE’S® Peanut Butter Cup Miniatures layer and then spread evenly using a rubber spatula.

Bake for approximately 50 minutes. Make sure you do not over bake as the center should be gooey. Let set for about 30 minutes or until the peanut butter layer cools and thickens.
