How to make slow cooker peanut butter chocolate cake (video)

Print this recipe
Few flavors go together more perfectly than peanut butter and chocolate. The recipe below combines them in a moist cake topped with candy and glazed while still warm for a melty, delicious mess. I like to make this for game night when everyone lingers at the table and has plenty of time to savor.
Because this recipe uses chocolate cake mix as a base, the batter comes together in only five minutes. Feel free to use a dark chocolate, devil’s food or even gluten-free mix to customize this to your taste.

Line your slow cooker with a slow cooker liner.
Evenly spread batter into slow cooker. Line the top of your slow cooker with a few paper towel to absorb any excess liquid. Cover with lid and cook on high for 2 hours, 30 minutes.
Remove cake from slow cooker by lifting out the liner. Remove liner and place cake on a plate.
Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk remaining 3 tablespoons peanut butter with milk and powdered sugar until smooth. Pour glaze over cake and sprinkle peanut butter cups on top.
Serve warm.
Pro tip: Want even more chocolate goodness? Stir 1 cup of mini chocolate chips into the batter before cooking.
