Ingredients

  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix
  • Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
  • 1 cup chocolate-flavor syrup, room temperature
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip™ frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 25 Reese's™ Miniatures Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, unwrapped, cut into fourths

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. Make and bake cake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Immediately poke holes using fork over top of cake, wiping fork tines occasionally with paper towel to reduce stickiness.
  • 2
    While cake is still warm, pour and evenly spread 3/4 cup of the chocolate syrup over cake. Cool 15 minutes. Refrigerate 2 hours.
  • 3
    When ready to serve, in large bowl, beat peanut butter and whipped topping with spoon until well blended. Spread over cake.
  • 4
    Sprinkle candies over frosting. Drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup chocolate syrup. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Try crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy for added crunch.
  • tip 2
    Be sure to poke the cake at least 50 to 60 times so there is plenty of chocolate syrup in the cake!
  • tip 3
    Add a drizzle of warmed peanut butter over top of cake for more peanut butter flavor.
