Ingredients

Scale

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 whipped topping
thawed
25 mini Peanut Butter Cups unwrapped and roughly chopped

Instructions

Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to package instructions and bake in a 9×13 inch pan. Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes.
Once cooled, use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the top of the cake.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the vanilla instant pudding mix and cold milk until smooth. Stir in 1 cup of the creamy peanut butter until well combined.
Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes and covers the surface.
Spread the chocolate frosting evenly over the top of the cake.
In a separate bowl, fold together the whipped topping and the remaining 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter until smooth. Spread this mixture over the chocolate frosting.
Top the cake with the chopped mini Peanut Butter Cups. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

For best flavor, let the cake chill overnight in the refrigerator. You can also add a drizzle of chocolate syrup on top before serving for an extra touch.
