Instructions

1. Poke Cakes are supposed to be easy desserts. So we always use a box cake mix.  We used a Pillsbury Chocolate Cake mix and made the batter according to the directions on the box.  We have a whole post about How to Make a Box Cake mix taste more like Homemade, if you need some tips.
   Grease a 9x13" pan (glass or metal will work) with spray or butter.
2. Pour the cake batter into the pan and bake according to the directions on the back of the cake mix box.
3. Allow the cake to cool and then press holes into the cake (about 3/4 of the way down) with the end of a wooden spoon.
4. Pour two cans of Sweetened Condensed Milk into a mixing bowl and then add 2/3 cup of Peanut Butter.
5. Stir the mixture until completely combined.
6. If the Peanut Butter filling is too thick to pour, add a splash of milk and continue to stir.
7. The filling should be pourable but still thick.  Continue to add milk a tablespoon at a time until you get it the right consistency.
8. Make sure the cake has completely cooled.
9. Pour the Peanut Butter filling onto the top of the cake.
10. Use a knife or an offset spatula to carefully spread the filling across the top of the cake and to make sure that the filling goes doesn't into the holes in the cake. Place the cake in the refrigerator while you make up the Peanut Butter Frosting.
11. Add one cup of peanut butter to a mixing bowl and stir until it has loosened up a bit. Add the container of Cool Whip to the Peanut Butter.
12. Fold together until combined.
13. Spoon the frosting onto the cake.
14. Spread the frosting evenly across the top of the cake.
15. Decorate the cake with Miniature Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.  Unwrap the candies, and give them a rough chop.  You will need approximately 1 - 1 1/2 cups of chopped peanut butter cups.
16. Sprinkle the chopped Peanut Butter Cups onto the top of the cake. Yum!
