CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER OOEY GOOEY BUTTER CAKE

This may be my favorite Ooey Gooey Butter Cake yet. Ooey Gooey Butter Cakes are fast becoming the dessert of choice at my house. This cake will have the kids begging you to take their Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups once you make this for them. You can use any candy you want, I used a mixture of peanut butter cups and Butterfingers for a little crunch. The cream cheese layer is packed with peanut butter flavor and then topped with more chocolate.

OMGosh is amazing! I started with a German Chocolate Cake Mix, only because it was the only chocolate cake mix the store had of the ones that were on sale. Use whatever chocolate cake mix you desire, it won’t make a difference. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Butterfinger Candy Bars were added on top of the cake mixture.
