This Chocolate Peanut Butter Pudding Dump Cake is a quick and easy dessert for anyone who loves the combination of chocolate and peanut butter. A rich chocolate cake base is combined with creamy chocolate pudding, peanut butter, chocolate chips, and Reese’s peanut butter cups for a warm, gooey dessert that’s hard to resist.
The best part is how little work it takes. Everything comes together quickly in one bowl before being spread into an 8×8-inch baking dish and baked until the edges are set while the center stays deliciously soft and fudgy.
Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped topping for an easy dessert that feels much more indulgent than the effort required to make it.
