½ cup melted butter
1 cup milk chocolate chips

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

-
Add Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly on top of the condensed milk layer.
-
Add Butter and Chocolate Chips: Drizzle melted butter over the cake mix. Sprinkle the remaining chopped peanut butter cups and chocolate chips on top.
-
Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and slightly crisp.

Notes
For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped peanuts or pretzels on top before baking.
Swap out the chocolate cake mix for a yellow or peanut butter-flavored cake mix for a different flavor twist.
If you’re a true peanut butter fan, use Reese’s Pieces or add more peanut butter cups for an extra peanut butter punch.
