Ingredients
1 box (18.25 oz) Chocolate Cake Mix
3/4 cup creamy store-bought chocolate frosting
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup cocktail peanuts, finely chopped
8 oz Cool Whip, thawed
3 Snickers bars, chilled and chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 13×9-inch baking pan with non-stick spray.
Microwave 1/2 cup of frosting for 5-10 seconds until pourable.
Whisk the milk into the softened frosting until the mixture is smooth.
Stir the dry cake mix into the frosting and milk mixture until well combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and 1/3 cup of chopped peanuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely.
Spread the remaining 1/4 cup of frosting over the top if desired, followed by a layer of thawed Cool Whip.
Sprinkle the chopped Snickers bars and remaining 2 tablespoons of peanuts over the top before serving.
Notes
Ensure the Snickers bars are chilled before chopping to get clean, neat pieces. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap for up to 3 days. For a decadent finish, you may drizzle extra chocolate syrup before adding the nuts.
