Reeses Peanut Butter Poke Cake Recipes

REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE POKE CAKE

Steps:

• Bake a chocolate cake with your recipe of choice in a 9x13 pan
• Use the bottom of a wooden spoon to poke holes evenly throughout the cake. I usually end up poking 20-25 holes.
• Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over top of the cake, aiming to fill up the holes.
• Scrape the hot fudge into a medium bowl. Add the 1/4 cup peanut butter. Microwave for 30 seconds. Mix until smooth and spread over the cake.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp peanut butter with the cool whip (I use a hand mixer here, but it's not a big deal to do it by hand).
• Spread the peanut butter cool whip over top.
• Chill for at least 4 hours (overnight is really best).
• Top with chopped Reese's cups and Reese's Pieces (you can add these before chilling, but the Reese's Pieces candy coating will bleed onto the cool whip when chilled).
• Serves approximately 12 (large pieces).
