Equipment

Slow Cooker - 5-quart oval or larger

Ingredients

15.25 oz. devil's food cake mix
1 cup water
1/2 cup salted butter melted
3 large eggs
8 oz. pkg. mini Reese's peanut butter cups

For the topping

1 cup creamy peanut butter
3 Tbsp. powdered sugar
10 bite size Reese's peanut butter cups

Slow Cooker Size:

6 quart oval

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a large bowl mix together the cake mix, water, butter, and eggs until smooth. Some lumps are ok, that is normal. Stir in the mini peanut butter cups.
Spray the slow cooker with non stick spray. Add the batter to the slow cooker and spread out into an even layer.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
When the cooking time is done, remove the cake from the heat, to keep it from continuing to cook.
In a small pan set over medium heat on the stove top, add the peanut butter. Stir until melted and smooth, watch closely because it will burn quickly. Add the powdered sugar and whisk until smooth.
Pour the sweetened peanut butter over the warm cake. Top with halved Reese's peanut butter cups.
Serve and enjoy! Great with ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

You can make Reese's Peanut Butter Cake in the oven. Bake in a 9x13 pan, and bake as directed on the cake mix box.

To store, let the cake cool on the counter and place the entire slow cooker insert in the fridge if desired. Flip the lid over to make it fit better in the fridge. Or spoon into airtight containers (this can be messy).
