Have not made this yet. Surfing around and found it...looked good so I thought I would post. ( ) Ingredients:
1 pkg. (2-layer size) chocolate cake mix |
1 cup cold milk |
1 pkg. (4-serving size) vanilla instant pudding & pie filling |
1/2 cup peanut butter |
1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts |
2 squares semi-sweet chocolate, melted |
1-1/2 cups thawed whipped topping |
Directions:
1. Preaheat oven to 350.
2. Prepare and bake cake mix as directed on package in 2 greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans. Cool completely on wire racks. Meanwhile, pour milk into medium bowl. Add dry pudding mix. Beat 2 minutes, or until well blended. Add peanut butter; beat well. Refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Mix peanuts and melted chocolate; stir until evenly coated. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper-covered baking sheet. Refrigerate 10 minutes, or until firm.
4. Place one of the cake layers on a cake platter; spread with 1 cup of the pudding mixture. Cover with rmaining cake layer. Gently stir whipped topping into remaining pudding mixture. Spread over top and side of cake. Decorate with chocolate peanut clusters. Store leftover cake in refrigerator.
5. SIZE-WISE: One serving of this decadent cake goes a long way on chocolate flavor.
6. EASY MICROWAVE MELTING: Microwave 1 unwrapped square of chocolate in microwavable bowl on HIGH 1 minute, stirring after 30 seconds. (The square will retain it's shape.) Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Add 10 seconds for each additional square of chocolate.
