  1. Ingredients:
    • For the Cake:
      • 1 (18.25 oz) package chocolate cake mix
      • 1 large egg
      • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
    • For the Gooey Layer:
      • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
      • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
      • 3 large eggs
      • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
      • 4 cups powdered sugar
      • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
    Directions:
    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
    2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, melted butter, and egg until well blended. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
    3. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and powdered sugar until fully combined. If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
    4. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the chocolate cake layer in the baking dish, spreading it evenly.
    5. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly gooey (it will continue to firm up as it cools).
    6. Allow to cool completely before slicing into squares.
