Slow Cooker Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake*

By srumbel

Hello! Today I have a new dessert recipe for you. This one is very rich and decadent, so if you are hoping for a light dessert, look away. My first thought when I bought the items for this recipe was to do a poke cake with peanut butter cool whip frosting. Instead, I went with a sweetened melted peanut butter topping.

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl mix together the cake mix, water, butter, and eggs until smooth. Some lumps are ok, that is normal. Stir in the mini peanut butter cups.

Spray the slow cooker with not stick spray. Add the batter to the slow cooker and spread out into an even layer.

Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.

When the cooking time is done, remove the cake from the heat, to keep it from continuing to cook.

In a small pan set over medium heat on the stove top, add the peanut butter. Stir until melted and smooth, watch closely because it will burn quickly. Add the powdered sugar and whisk until smooth.

Pour over the sweetened peanut butter over the warm cake. Top with cut up Reese's peanut butter cups.

Serve and enjoy! Great with ice cream or whipped cream.
