Ingredients
1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
½ cup creamy peanut butter
1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
1 cup Reese’s Pieces or chopped mini Reese’s cups
½ cup hot fudge sauce or chocolate syrup (warmed)
Extra peanut butter for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
-
Bake the Cake: Prepare and bake the chocolate cake in a 9×13-inch pan according to the package instructions. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
-
Poke and Fill: Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the warm cake. In a small bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
-
Cool Completely: Let the cake cool completely before adding the topping.
-
Top and Chill: Spread the whipped topping over the cooled cake. Sprinkle with Reese’s Pieces or chopped mini Reese’s cups. Drizzle with warm fudge sauce and extra peanut butter if desired.
-
Refrigerate: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to set.
Notes
Crunchy Topping: Add crushed graham crackers or nuts to the topping for a bit of texture.
Chocolate Lovers: Use chocolate pudding mix in the cake for an extra layer of chocolate flavor.
Candy Variations: Try swapping Reese’s Pieces for chopped Snickers, M&Ms, or other candies.
