Equipment

9x9-inch Baking Dish or 9x13-inch Baking Dish

Stand Mixer with Paddle Attachment or Handheld Mixer

Saucepan or Microwave-Safe Bowl

Ingredients

2 sticks Butter, melted
1 package (15.25 ounce) German chocolate cake mix
3 large eggs Eggs, Divided
1 package (8-ounce) Cream cheese, softened
1 cup Peanut butter
2 cups Confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
3/4 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup Peanut butter chips
1/2 cup Creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup Heavy cream

Instructions

Heat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x9-inch baking dish or 9x13-inch baking dish.
Combine the German chocolate cake mix, 1 egg, and 1 stick of melted butter. Mix well and pat the mixture into the prepared pan.
In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment (or using a handheld mixer), beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the remaining 2 eggs and peanut butter. Lower the speed and add confectioners' sugar, melted butter, and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
Pour the filling over the cake batter in the pan. Bake for 50 minutes until the center is still a little gooey. Let it partially cool on a wire rack while you prepare the ganache.
For the topping, place chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and peanut butter in a bowl. Heat the cream on the stove or in the microwave until simmering. Pour the hot cream over the chips and peanut butter. Stir until melted and smooth.
Pour the ganache over the baked cake and let it sit at room temperature for about an hour before cutting and serving. Refrigerate leftovers.
