Reese's Peanut Butter 'Better than Football' Cake

Okay, it's not really called 'Better than Football' Cake. It's really called Better than S-e-x Cake. Why? I'm not sure. Is it good? Oh yeah. Is it better than you-know-what? We won't go there.
There is lots of talk about football food right now in preparation for the "big game". However, as yummy as Buffalo Chicken Dip is....you gotta have dessert. Let me repeat - You GOTTA have dessert! 
And this one is a winner.
If you are a fan of peanut butter and chocolate, then you should love this cake. My daughter chose this as her birthday cake this year. We knew it would be hard to top last year's Kit Kat cake, but she really wanted to give it a shot! (Which, by the way, the Kit Kat cake would be a fun treat for the Super Bowl as well...especially made with team colors.)

Reese's Peanut Butter Better Than Sex Cake

  • Prepared chocolate cake (baked in a 9x13 pan)
  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk (regular, low fat or fat free)
  • 1 jar hot fudge sauce (11-14 oz, depending on brand used)
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter + 3 Tablespoons (divided)
  • 1 container of TruWhip or 8 oz Cool Whip 
  • 8 oz bag Reese's Minis, chopped
  • 10 oz bag Reese's Pieces Candy
*After preparing your favorite chocolate cake, cool completely.
*Once cool, poke holes evenly over the cake. The end of a wooden spoon is good for this. I space mine about 2 inches apart. 
*Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over top of the cake.
*Mix the hot fudge sauce and 1/4 cup peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir until well blended then evenly spread over the cake.
*Mix together the remaining 3 Tablespoons of peanut butter with the TruWhip/Cool Whip. This can be done with a mixer or by hand. Spread over the hot fudge sauce.
*Chill cake for at least 4 hours, or overnight. 
*When ready to serve, cover with the chopped Reese's Mini Peanut Butter Cups and the Reese's Pieces.

Enjoy! Because it's fabulous. I was going to say something cheesy like it's orgasmic. You know, since it's BTS cake and all. But that would just be silly. Only fresh baked chocolate chip cookies can do that. lol
