Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake

1 package devils food cake mix

1 container (16 oz) sour cream

3 eggs

9 Reese's peanut butter cup candies (I use 12-18)

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/ 2 cup (3 oz) Semi-sweet chocolate morsels (I use milk chocolate)

2 teaspoon vegetable oil

2 tablespoon peanuts, chopped ( i haven't ever used this because most of my kids hate nuts)



Combine sour cream and eggs; whisk until smooth.Add cake mix and mix until smooth. Lightly spray bunt pan with pam. Place about half of the batter in the bottom of the pan. Arrange peanut butter cups in a circular pattern over batter. Top with remaining batter, spread evenly.



Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes. I let it cool a little bit before turning it onto a plate.



Place peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl on high for about 30 seconds or until melted. Stir until smooth. Pour peanut butter evenly over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down sides.



Place chocolate chips and oil in the same microwave bowl and microwave on high 20-40 seconds or until melted and smooth. Be careful not to burn the chocolate!!! Drizzle chocolate evenly over the peanut butter. Sprinkle peanuts over this but why ruin it with nuts:)
