Ingredients:

• 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix (approx. 432g)
• 1 cup (240 ml) water
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup (120g) creamy peanut butter
• 1/3 cup (76g) softened butter
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) chocolate-flavored syrup
• 3 tablespoons (45g) creamy peanut butter (for topping)
• 2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 45 ml) milk (for topping)
• 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) chocolate-flavored syrup (for topping)
• 20 Reese’s peanut butter cups miniatures, unwrapped and cut in half

Directions:

Start by spraying a 5- to 6-quart oval slow cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, water, eggs, 1/2 cup of peanut butter, and softened butter. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds, then switch to medium speed and beat for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally.

Transfer 2/3 cup of the batter to a medium bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup of chocolate syrup to create the chocolate fudge batter.

Spoon half of the peanut butter batter into the prepared slow cooker, followed by all of the chocolate fudge batter. Top it off with the remaining peanut butter batter. Use a knife to create swirls by gently swirling the batter in a circular motion.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on High heat setting for 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Once cooked, turn off the slow cooker and uncover it. Carefully remove the ceramic base from the cooker and place it on a cooling rack. Let the cake cool for about 15 minutes.

In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of peanut butter and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Add powdered sugar and continue mixing until you achieve a smooth glaze. If needed, gradually add an additional tablespoon of milk to reach the desired consistency.

Spread the peanut butter glaze over the cake and drizzle it with the remaining chocolate syrup. Finally, sprinkle the halved Reese’s peanut butter cups on top of the cake for a delightful finishing touch.

Notes:

• For a personal touch, try experimenting with different flavors of syrup or using crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
• Serve the cake warm or at room temperature for the best taste experience.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
