Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to package instructions. Pour the batter into the baking dish.
3. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, melted butter, powdered sugar, and peanut butter until smooth.
4. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the cake batter, then gently swirl with a knife.
5. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the cake is set but still gooey in the center.
6. Remove from the oven and sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the top. Place halved Reese’s cups across the cake while still warm so they soften slightly.
7. Let cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.
