  2. Spread creamy peanut butter evenly across the bottom of the dish, then sprinkle half of the chopped peanut butter cups over it.

  4. Evenly distribute the chocolate cake mix over the layers without mixing.
  5. Drizzle melted butter across the surface of the cake mix.
  6. Sprinkle remaining chopped peanut butter cups and milk chocolate chips over the entire surface.
