Ingredients (Makes a 9″ x 13″ pan)
For the cake batter:
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup softened butter
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
For the crumb topping:
1/4 cup cold butter
1/4 cup peanut butter

1 tablespoon crushed peanuts
Directions
Step 1) Using two forks or a pastry cutter, combine 1/4 cup cold butter, 1/4 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This will be part of the topping; set it aside.
