Ingredients
½ cup butter, melted
1 box chocolate cake mix

½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
¼ cup peanut butter chips
Pinch of salt
Instructions

2. Prepare cake batter by combining cake mix, eggs, butter, and milk. Pour into pan.
3. In another bowl, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Drop spoonfuls of cream cheese mixture over cake batter and swirl with a knife.
5. Sprinkle chopped Reese’s and chocolate chips over top.

Notes
Use room-temperature cream cheese for the smoothest swirl.
For extra richness, drizzle melted chocolate over cooled cake.
Best served slightly warm with a scoop of ice cream!
