Peanut Butter Cup Cake Crock Pot Recipe
So this cake happened today.
Like realllly happened.
I started it.
I went to the pool and watched my kids do 40 million cannonballs.
I came home.
And waiting for me was a cake.
In a crock pot.
Yezzzzz.
This is, in fact, real life.
And there are peanut butter cups involved.
Because I love you.
And after you eat this cake you will love me too.
Crock Pot Peanut Butter Cup Cake.
Did you hear me? IN A CROCK POT!
I’m caking like it’s 1983.
How to Make This Crock Pot Cake Mix Dessert:
Just mix up your ingredients.
And since we’re in the 80’s, let’s start with a cake mix.
Then put it in your crock.
What a crock it is.
And wait a bunch of hours.
I suggest you get on with your life during this time.
Watching the crock pot work is a losing battle, folks.
After the longest 6 1/2 hours of our life you should eat.
With ice cream.
Good gosh almighty.

I was going to wait to make this over the weekend, but did it last night instead….I just have to say it was amaze-balls.
Thanks so much for posting it!!
i’m seriously drooling. geez that looks good
holy crap this cake is too good to be true!! and this mini reese’s cups.. I can’t get enough! I baked your reese’s pb banana bread and just posted it, Shelly!
ps: hope you didn’t get soaked watching your boys do cannonballs!
And to think, I thought that now that I was a vegetarian my crockpot was essentially useless. You’ve proven me wrong!
I think the only time I spotted you at BHF was just as you were walking out the door of the closing party to leave…and I just didn’t make it to stall you in time! ACK. Such a fail!
1908’s here I come! What a great idea! Yes please. And mini peanut butter cups?!?! I mean come on! I’m all in for this one! 🙂
Fantastic! It is like a dream 🙂
OK, I would love this, however my kids are allergic to peanuts. What do you think I could substitute for the peanut butter? (I’m still going to have to try it and will take it to school to share with staff) Thanks!
Maybe try Nutella?
You had me at peanut butter cups. I am definitely trying this. Thanks for the recipe.
I have been wanting to buy a crock pot for some time now and this cake just gave me a reason to! It looks so decadent and I love that it takes forever to bake because that just builds the anticipation of it. It is the perfect cake for the summer because you can leave it and go on with your summer fun.
Did this fill up your crock pot? Mine is smaller. . . I just measured it. It’s, gasp, only 3 quarts! Do you think it could handle this recipe? It looks divine. We always need a treat on Sunday afternoons and it’s going to be 100 here this Sunday!
I used an 8 qt crock and it filled about half.. I’m not so sure a 3 qt would work, and if it will all fit, you would most likely have to adjust the baking time. Maybe make half the batter?
