Ingredients
Scale
- 15 oz box of chocolate cake mix, plus the ingredients on the back of the box to make the cake
- 3.4 oz box of instant vanilla pudding
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 and 1/2 cups peanut butter, divided
- 16 oz of chocolate frosting
- 8 oz frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 25 mini Reese’s cups, whole or chopped your choice, I did both
Instructions
- Prepare the cake mix in a large mixing bowl according to the back of the box. Pour in a 9×13 baking dish and bake according to the box. Let the cake cool completely for 15-20 minutes, using the round end of a wooden spoon poke holes all around the cake, about 1/2 inch apart from each other.
- In a small bowl add the pudding mix and 2 cups of cold milk. Whisk for 2 minutes or until it is dissolved all the way. Add in 1/2 cup of peanut butter and whisk again until completely mixed together. Pour the pudding mixture all over top of the cake making sure it falls and gets in the holes.
- In a microwave safe bowl add the chocolate frosting and microwave for 10-20 seconds or until the frosting is melted. Pour it all over top of the cake and spread it lightly around the entire cake with the back side of a spoon or spatula. Place the cake in the fridge for 30-40 minutes.
- In a large bowl add the 1 cup of peanut butter and the whipped topping, stir until everything is completely mixed together. Spread over the top of the cake, don’t worry, the chocolate frosting will end up mixing with the whipped peanut butter and start to swirl as you mix it, it’ll look weird at first but it turns out pretty.
- Sprinkle the Reese’s cups all over the top of the cake (whole or chopped your choice) and then place in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours. Slice and enjoy!
