Directions:
1. Drop cake mix, butter and peanut butter into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 30-second intervals, whisking between each interval until butter and chocolate are melted and well combined.

2. Whisk in eggs until combined. Refrigerate batter until ready to use.* Drop 3 heaping spoonfuls of batter into each mug, then loosely cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute. Cake should be moist and rise to the top of the mug. Remove plastic wrap, dollop on a spoonful of whipped topping and drizzle with caramel sauce, if desired.
