MDBD - Reese's Cup Poke Cake

For Scott's birthday Zoey and I made him a Reese's Poke Cake. Unfortunately, he didn't get to eat it on the night we made it, but I think he enjoyed a piece or two later. Actually, as I type this I think he is getting ready to eat some more. LOL! This particular recipe came from Something Swanky

Reese's Cup Poke Cake

Our Ingredients

Ingredients

Chocolate cake, baked and cooled (completely) in 9x13 pan 

14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

12.8 oz jar hot fudge sauce
1/4 cup peanut butter 

8 oz. Cool Whip
3 tbsp. peanut butter 

 8 oz bag Reese's Minis (the ones that are already unwrapped), chopped

10 oz bag Reese's Pieces Baking Pieces

 

Instruction

Make cake according to package directions.

Tip for those baking with a toddler - If you are letting the toddler use the mixer (with supervision of course), and they start singing ring around the rosie, know that on the "they all fall down part" they will likely lift the mixer out of the bowl and drop it back in. Cake batter will go everywhere and make a fun design on your shirt as seen below. LOL!

Use the bottom of a wooden spoon to poke holes evenly throughout the cake. 

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

 Spread the peanut butter cool whip over top.
Chill for at least 4 hours.
Top with chopped Reese's cups and Reese's Pieces.
