1. Prep:
Preheat oven to 175°C / 350°F
Grease a 9×13 inch pan
2. Base:
Spread chocolate chips, Reese’s chunks, and peanuts over the bottom of the pan.
3. Cake:
Prepare chocolate cake batter according to package directions.
Pour it over the candy layer (don’t mix).
4. Cream cheese topping:
Beat cream cheese + butter + powdered sugar + vanilla + peanut butter until smooth.
Drop spoonfuls over the cake batter.
5. Create the “earthquake”:
Use a knife to lightly swirl the cream cheese into the cake.
6. Bake:
Bake 40–45 min.
Center should be slightly gooey—this is GOOD.
