As usual, we are having our weekly pitch-in for our small group at our church. When we were planning the meal, I volunteered for dessert but had no idea what I was going to make. Flash foward a few days. I was talking to Michael about it trying to come up with something. Then out of the clear blue, this Crock Pot Chocolate Peanut Butter Lava Cake was born!

If you love chocolate and peanut butter, then this Crock Pot Chocolate Peanut Butter Lava Cake is going to be your ultimate dessert!

I really have no idea what made me think this up, but I remembered how much I loved this Crock Pot Chocolate Lava Cake and the thought of peanut butter added to it just made my mouth water.

But how to do it? Peanut butter? Some kind of peanut butter mixture? How would that effect the cake batter? So I did what I usually do when I have an idea I can’t quite put together. I called Cris. She said peanut butter chips, I said brilliant. And now you get to say yum! 😉

Crock Pot Chocolate Peanut Butter Lava Cake Notes

  • If you look at the Crock Pot Chocolate Lava Cake, you will notice that the measurements are doubled here. I am feeding an army at our “small” group, so I knew that I needed to double it. If you are not feeding an army, you can cut this recipe in half and use a 3-quart crock pot.
  • I used my Casserole Crock Pot for this. I love the 9×13 pan for crock pot cakes and casseroles. It just works perfectly. If you don’t’ have one, I would use a 6-quart slow cooker for this recipe.
  • I used Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips in mine. I don’t usually use name brand ingredients, but they were on sale and cheap. They worked great! You can try it out with your favorite peanut butter chips if you don’t have/want to buy Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips.
  • As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
  • All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

    This is out families favorite Sunday treat! We have used a variation of chips, and it always turns out great! One time I didn’t have any peanut butter chips and we used globs of peanut butter. One time we used mini Reese’s, we have even used Reese’s pieces and paired those with regular chocolate chips. All delicious!

    Would you still cook it for the same amount of time if it’s halved?

      Hi Pat!

      I haven’t made it halved yet, but you will want to make sure you use the smaller crock size and watch it closely the first time you make it. The cooking time should be similar. Enjoy!
