Ingredients

  • 1 package yellow cake mix

  • ½ cup butter

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 packages (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cups finely chopped walnuts

  • 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted

  • 1 cup finely chopped (I used a food processor to get them smooth) Reese’s peanut butter cups

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

  2. Grease a glass 9x13 cake pan

  3. Mix yellow cake mix with ½ cup butter and 1 egg. Add in the finely chopped nuts. Press 2/3 of the mixture into the bottom of the cake pan.

  4. Beat the cream cheese and sugar until well blended. Add the remaining egg and beat again. Spread evenly over the crust.

  5. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and pour over the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle the Reese’s mixture on top of the chocolate.

  6. Crumble the remaining cake mixture on top and gently pat the top.

  7. Bake for approximately 45 or until the center is nearly set.
