Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients called for on the box)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 jar (16 oz) hot fudge sauce
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping
- 1/2 cup chopped peanuts (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare and bake the chocolate cake according to the package instructions.
- Once the cake is done, use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake while it’s still warm.
- Microwave the peanut butter for about 30 seconds, or until smooth, then pour it over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes as well.
- Heat the hot fudge sauce in the microwave and pour it evenly over the cake.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to allow all the flavors to meld and set.
- Spread whipped topping over the cake and garnish with chopped peanuts before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to poke plenty of holes in the cake so that the peanut butter, sweetened condensed milk, and hot fudge sauce can fully soak in.
- You can use a store-bought or homemade hot fudge sauce for extra flavor.
- For a richer taste, you can drizzle extra hot fudge or peanut butter on top before serving.
