I clipped this recipe from a newspaper years ago. The house smells great while it's cooking. My husband and son enjoy this warm dessert with vanilla ice cream and nuts on top. —Bonnie Evans, Norcross, Georgia

Very tasty! Peanut butter flavor is mild but it's a warm, gooey cake. Who can resist? I realized my crock pot was going to be too large for the recipe so I made it in the oven set at 200-225 degrees for about 2 hours. Topped with whipped cream, it was delicious! Next time, I would add more peanut butter to increase the PB flavor.

RE: Fudgy Peanut Butter Cake--This cake is excellent, but I would like to try baking it in the oven. I served it with vanilla ice cream. Yummm! Even if I don't figure out how to do it in the oven, I am definitely going to be using this recipe again.

Wonderful! My whole family loved this dessert, I added about 3/4 cup of chocolate chips to the crock pot after the cake mix was in there. I don't know if it made a differnece, but it sure was a tasty treat. This will be a keeper in our home!!!!
