Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, oil, and water according to the package directions. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 30 minutes.
  3. While the cake is cooling, mix together the peanut butter, sweetened condensed milk, and regular milk until smooth and creamy.
  4. Once the cake is slightly cooled, poke holes across the cake and pour the peanut butter mixture over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
  5. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour. After chilling, spread a layer of whipped cream on top and sprinkle with crushed peanut butter cups.
