Slow Cooker Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake is a dessert that you will want to make over and over.
Hello! Today I have a new dessert recipe for you. This one is very rich and decadent, so if you are hoping for a light dessert, look away. My first thought when I bought the items for this recipe was to do a poke cake with peanut butter cool whip frosting. Instead, I went with a sweetened melted peanut butter topping.
How to make Slow Cooker Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake:
- In a large bowl mix together a deviled food cake mix, eggs, melted butter, and water. Stir in a small bag of mini resee’s peanut butter cups.
- Spray an oval slow cooker with non-stick spray and pour the batter into it.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
- When the cooking time is done combine melted peanut butter and powdered sugar. Pour this over the hot cake.
- Top with halved bite-sized peanut butter cups.
- Serve and enjoy!
The topping in this recipe tastes like the peanut butter topping at Baskin Robbins. Every time I eat that peanut butter topping I don’t care if I’m ever skinny again. LOL
How to serve:
- Scoop the warm cake into serving bowls.
- Top with ice-cream or whipped cream.

Hi will this work in a round crock pot, or will that be too small?
It may be too small. You could cut it in half.
Easy and delicious ,
What’s the best way to store what is left?
If you have room in the fridge you can put the entire slow cooker insert and lid in there. Or spoon into a large storage container.
Not bad
