Ingredients
- 15 oz chocolate cake mix plus ingredients listed on box
- 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 1/2 cups peanut butter divided, creamy
- 16 oz chocolate frosting
- 8 oz whipped topping thawed
- Reese's Cups mini or chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the cake mix in a large mixing bowl according to box directions. Pour into a greased 9x13 baking pan and bake in oven as directed on box.
- Once cake is baked, allow to cool completely and using the end of a wooden spoon, poke holes evenly over the entire cake, about 1/2 inch apart from each other.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and cold mix until pudding mix has dissolved. Add in 1/2 cup peanut butter and continue whisking until smooth and combined. Pour pudding mixture evenly over the top of the cake ensuring all the holes get filled.
- In a microwave safe bowl, adding the chocolate frosting and microwave for about 15-20 seconds, or until melted. Pour it evenly over the entire cake and spread around. Place the cake in the refrigerator to chill for about 30-40 minutes.
- In a large bowl, add the remaining 1 cup of peanut butter and whipped topping. Stir until combined. Remove cake from fridge and spread mixture evenly on top of cake. It's okay if the chocolate frosting mixes with the peanut butter whipped topping. It can swirl and add a pretty addition.
- Sprinkle Reese peanut butter cups over the top of the cake and place back into the refrigerator to chill for about 3-4 hours. Slice into desired sized pieces and enjoy!
