Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Poke Cake

Reese’s Poke Cake

15.25 oz chocolate cake mix plus ingredients to prepare the cake

3.4 oz vanilla instant pudding mix

2 cups cold milk

1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter, divided

16 oz chocolate frosting

8 oz frozen whipped topping, thawed

25 mini Peanut Butter Cups unwrapped and roughly chopped

Prepare and bake the cake according to the package instructions, baking in a 13 x 9-inch cake pan.
Let the cake cool 15-20 minutes, then poke holes in the cake every 1/2 to 1 inch with the round end of a wooden spoon.
Empty the pudding mix into a medium bowl, and add the milk.
Whisk briskly for 2 minutes or until the pudding mix is dissolved then whisk in 1/2 cup of the peanut butter until combined and smooth.
Pour the pudding mixture over the cake, filling the holes as much as possible.
In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate frosting for 15-20 seconds, or until it can be poured easily. Drizzle it over the cake and spread evenly with the back of a spoon or an offset spatula.
Let the cake cool completely.
In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 cup of peanut butter and the whipped topping. Spread over the cake and top with the peanut butter cups.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. Store covered in the refrigerator.
