\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83c\udf3e Step-by-Step Reese’s Peanut Butter Dump Cake Guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u200bFollow this simple 4-step chef-approved guide to gather your ingredients, line your baking dish, top with butter pats, and scoop out a warm, oozing chocolate peanut butter dessert, exactly as featured in the 4-panel visual breakdown \ud83c\udf6b\u2728!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bStep 1: Prep Workspace & Line Glass Pan with Peanut Butter Cups \ud83c\udf6b\ud83e\uddfa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. \u200bSet up your workspace with 1 box of Betty Crocker Super Moist Chocolate Fudge cake mix, 2 sticks of Land O Lakes unsalted butter, and a generous pile of unwrapped Reese’s peanut butter cups (as shown in the top-left panel).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. \u200bLightly grease a 9\\times13-inch glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray for effortless serving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. \u200bUnwrap 24 to 30 full-sized Reese’s peanut butter cups.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. \u200bArrange unwrapped peanut butter cups flat in a neat, continuous grid pattern across the bottom of the glass pan (as demonstrated in the top-right panel).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    \u200bStep 2: Cover with Dry Chocolate Cake Mix \ud83c\udf82\u2728<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. \u200bOpen 1 box of Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge cake mix.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. \u200bPour dry cake mix evenly over the layer of peanut butter cups, completely covering them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. \u200bUse a spatula or the back of a spoon to gently smooth dry chocolate powder into an even, flat layer across the dish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. \u200bChef’s Secret:<\/em> Do not mix or stir liquid into the dry cake mix! Leaving powder dry in layers is what creates the signature gooey “dump cake” texture.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      \u200bStep 3: Top Grid with Sliced Butter Pats \ud83e\uddc8\ud83d\udd25<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. \u200bTake 2 cold sticks of Land O Lakes unsalted butter and slice them into thin, square butter pats (roughly 24 to 30 slices total).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. \u200bArrange butter pats in a neat grid pattern over dry chocolate cake powder (as shown in the bottom-left panel).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. \u200bEnsure butter pats cover as much dry powder surface area as possible so butter hydrates the entire top layer as it melts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. \u200bPreheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. \u200bBake uncovered on center rack for 35 to 40 minutes<\/strong> until butter is fully absorbed, top is set and crackled, and chocolate peanut butter lava bubbles beneath!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        \u200bStep 4: Scoop Warm, Oozing Dessert & Serve \ud83c\udf7d\ufe0f\ud83c\udf66<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. \u200bRemove baking dish carefully from oven and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes so molten chocolate sets slightly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. \u200bDip a large metal serving spoon deep into the casserole dish (as captured in the bottom-right showcase)!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. \u200bScoop out warm, gooey portions overflowing with melted, stringy peanut butter and rich chocolate cake layers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. \u200bTransfer into dessert bowls and serve hot alongside a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate syrup!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
