1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional, for crunch)

Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Prepare the Pudding Layer:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth.

Add the Cake Mix Layer:
Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the pudding layer.
Swirl in Peanut Butter & Butter:
Drizzle the melted butter and peanut butter over the cake mix.
Use a spoon or knife to gently swirl it into the top layer (without fully mixing).
Top with Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cups:
Scatter the chopped mini peanut butter cups and chocolate chips over the top.
Sprinkle with chopped peanuts if using, pressing them lightly into the batter.
Bake:
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly gooey.
Cool & Serve:
Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
