Reese's Peanut Butter Poke Cake

I found this recipe on Pinterest and Chris made it for me for Valentine's Day.  I requested it for my 40th birthday cake next week!  It. Is. Fabulous.

It was originally posted on Six Sisters' Stuff.

Next time I hope to get a picture!  We ate it too fast to snap one!

Reese’s Peanut Butter Poke Cake

1 chocolate cake mix ( I used Betty Crocker ) 
3 eggs ( Use the amount called for on your cake mix box )
1 1/3 cups water ( Use the amount called for on the cake mix box )
1/2 cup vegetable oil ( Use the amount called for on the cake mix box )
8 ounces cream cheese ( softened )
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 cup peanut butter ( creamy or crunchy )
12 ounces cool whip ( divided )
11 3/4 ounces hot fudge ( divided )
8 REESE'S Peanut Butter Cups ( broken into pieces )

Directions

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 ¾ 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.

Ultimate Peanut Butter Cookies



Chris made these AMAZING peanut butter cookies for me today!  They are the BEST I've ever had!  Peanut butter cookies with peanut butter chips -- what could be better?

I found the recipe in a Betty Crocker mailer trying to get me to buy a cookbook. 

Ultimate Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 1/4 flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup peanut butter chips
granulated sugar

1.  Heat oven to 375 degrees.  In large bowl, beat brown sugar, peanut butter, butter and egg with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy.  On low speed, beat in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.  Stir in peanut butter chips.

2.  Shape dough into 1 1/2 inch balls.  Dip tops of balls into granulated sugar.  On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls, sugared side up, about 3 inches apart (do not flatten).

3.  Bake 9-10 minutes or until light brown.  Cool 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling racks.
