CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER DUMP CAKE

Chocolate-Peanut Butter Dump Cake image

I am a huge fan of the chocolate-peanut butter combination. I'm also a fan of easy recipes, including dump cakes. On occasion, I've omitted the peanut butter chips and used 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips with very tasty results. -Lisa Varner, El Paso, Texas
