A chocolate cake mix shaken with chopped peanut butter cups in a zip-top bag. Add oil, water and egg white, then microwave in a mug for a quick treat or give the bag with a whisk and mug.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup any chocolate-flavor cake mix
  • 4 Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Miniatures chopped

Per mug, when preparing
