Tips for Achieving the Perfect Texture and Flavor
Key to the perfect Peanut Butter S’mores Dump Cake is nailing the ingredient ratios. Adding an additional quarter cup of peanut butter will help bring a better flavor forward. Bake at 350°F or 175°C for even cooking and a golden-brown top. Allow to cool for 15 minutes; this sets marshmallows and makes slices easy to cut. To serve: Top each portion with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate hot-cold contrast.
Or try out different variations-trying crushed Oreos instead of graham crackers, adding sliced bananas, or maybe even crunchy peanut butter for a nice textural element. That is the thing about dump cakes: you can make them how you want them.
Serve the cake directly from the baking dish to maintain that comforting homemade atmosphere. Great for both potlucks and family gatherings alike. Check out these tips for making an awesome Peanut Butter S’mores Dump Cake!

Peanut Butter S’mores Dump Cake
Course: Dump Cakes12
servings15
minutes35
minutes400
kcalIngredients
1 cup crushed graham crackers
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup peanut butter
1 box yellow cake mix
½ cup melted butter
1 jar marshmallow fluff
2 cups mini marshmallows (optional)
Steps
- Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it heats up, grab a 9×13-inch baking dish. - Form the Graham Cracker Base
Spread the crushed graham crackers evenly across the bottom of the baking dish. This layer acts as the “crust,” capturing that signature s’mores crunch. - Add the Chocolate and Peanut Butter Layers
Here’s where you can get creative. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the graham crackers. Then, add dollops of peanut butter over the chocolate chips, spreading gently if you like. Alternatively, you can swap the order—peanut butter first, then chocolate. Both methods work beautifully, so go with what feels right! - Pour the Cake Mix
Evenly pour the dry yellow cake mix over the peanut butter and chocolate. No mixing is required—just spread it out to cover the entire surface of the dish. - Add the Butter
Slowly drizzle the melted butter across the cake mix. Try to cover as much of the surface as possible, as the butter will help create a golden, crispy top. - Top with Marshmallow Fluff or/and Mini Marshmallows
If you’re using only marshmallow fluff, dollop it on top of the cake mix. If you prefer more fluff add also mini marshmallows, scatter them generously across the surface. Both options will give you that iconic gooey s’mores topping! - Bake to Perfection
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the marshmallows are lightly toasted. Keep an eye on it towards the end to ensure the marshmallows don’t burn.
