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.

Do you mix the cake mix like making a normal cake? And do you mix the pudding mix with the water like normal or just mix the powder mix with the other ingredients?
No, Just mix only the ingredients as listed 🙂
Want to make this but do i make the cake mix, like a cake mix with the eggs, oil and such and make the pudding with the liquids too? OR do i just add all the ingredients as they are and add them all in and they eventually work it out? HELP!!!
oh my, i think i figured it out. I paniced for a bit, lol. Sorry!
I found this on pinterest and I’m making it today because I’m having some gal friends over for dessert – can’t wait! I know the house is going to smell so good!
Loving this – especially how easy it is!!
OMG you rock my world!!
Looking forward to having this tomorrow. Sounds like there are lots who haven’t cooked dessert in crock pot…. Just FYI, if you place a towel UNDER the lid, the condensation collects on the towel and doesn’t drip back onto your cake.
Chocolate and Peanut butter?? IN A CROCKPOT??? This is beyond brilliant! And, I live in a house with 2 little boys and 3 chocolate/peanut butter addicted adults…..We’re doomed. But only in the best possible way!!
Thanks for another doozy, Shelly!
I already loved you. Now I love you more. Will be creating this beauty for my church Life group tomorrow.
CROCKPOT? You`re killing me! This sounds super amazing and gooey and omg, i need to have this NOW. 😀
Why didn’t I see this this morning. I just wait for 3 hours to have my oil changed, and had my kid with me. Definitely could use this now that I am finally home!
