  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box devil's food cake mix (plus ingredients as directed)
  • 2 cups melted peanut butter
  • 1 cup chopped peanut butter candies (like Reese’s)
  • 1 cup Reese’s Pieces
  • 1 cup peanut butter (for frosting)
  • 10 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9"x13" baking pan with parchment paper, greasing it lightly.
  2. Prepare the cake batter following the package instructions and pour it into the prepared pan. Bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.
  3. Once cooled, poke holes all over the cake using the back of a wooden spoon. Pour melted peanut butter over the surface, ensuring it fills the holes.
  4. To make the frosting, beat together peanut butter and softened butter until smooth. Gradually mix in powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until fluffy; add cream if necessary for consistency.
  5. Spread the frosting evenly over the cake and top with chopped candies.
