Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box dark chocolate fudge cake mix
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup miniature Reese's peanut butter cups, halved

  3. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, butter, peanut butter, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Gradually mix in powdered sugar until well combined.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture over the cake batter. Swirl lightly with a knife.
