  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10×15-inch sheet pan.
  2. In a large bowl, blend flour, brown sugar, peanut butter, and butter on low until crumbly.
  3. Add baking powder, baking soda, milk, vanilla, and eggs. Mix on low until combined, then beat 3 minutes on medium (batter will be thick).

2️⃣ Bake

  • Pour batter into the pan and spread evenly.
  • Bake 35-40 minutes (middle rack) until a toothpick comes out clean.

3️⃣ Make the Frosting

  1. Microwave peanut butter + honey 20 seconds until soft.
  2. Whisk in vanilla, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth.

4️⃣ Frost & Finish

  • Let cake cool 10 minutes (in pan), then spread frosting over the warm cake.
  • Immediately sprinkle with mini chocolate chips (they’ll soften slightly).

5️⃣ Serve!

  • Slice and enjoy warm or at room temp.
