Leftovers/storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. When reheating, warm it slightly so it stays soft and gooey, and you can add a little extra peanut butter on top if you want it extra rich. It is especially good reheated with a scoop of ice cream.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to prepare the cake mix first?
Yes, you will prepare it just like a normal cake mix by combining it with the listed ingredients. Once it is mixed, you just pour it into the slow cooker and let it do the rest.
Can I use a different cake mix?
Yes, you can switch it up if you want, but chocolate works best with the peanut butter. A fudge or dark chocolate mix would also be really good.
Do I have to add the peanut butter on top?
You do not have to, but it adds a really nice richness to the cake. It melts into the top and makes it even more indulgent.
