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).

REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER POKE CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare and bake your chocolate cake following instructions on the cake mix box. When the cake is done cooking, take it out of the oven and poke the cake all over with a fork.
• Microwave your hot fudge and pour 3/4 of the jar on top of the cake so it will soak in.
• Combine cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk in a large bowl or stand mixer and beat until smooth. Add peanut butter and continue mixing until thoroughly incorporated. Add half of the cool whip and continue mixing it until smooth.
• Spread peanut butter mixture evenly over cooled cake. Cover and refrigerate until cool.
• Spread remaining cool whip over peanut butter mixture. Drizzle rest of hot fudge over top. Then sprinkle the crumbled reese's peanut butter cups over top. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
