Chocolate Peanut Butter Malt Poke Cake

Chocolate Peanut Butter Malt Poke Cake for the chocolate and PB lovers and Easter yumming!  <—-Not sure if *yumming* is a word, but it totally sounds like it should be!!

Humor me please 😉  It’s been one of those days!  But we are talking about cake, so everything seems to be better already, don’t you think?  Whew, sometimes it takes the smallest of miracles! 

Malted milk balls always remind me of Easter, (and Halloween!) so I incorporated malt into a chocolate cake by adding malt powder to the chocolate and peanut butter filling, in the chocolate peanut butter whipped cream layer and then, there’s malted milk balls sprinkled about.

And since I was going for chocolate and peanut butter, peanut butter is also in the filling, whipped cream layer and Easter peanut butter M&Ms are sprinkled on top of the cake for the extra punch of peanut butter!  YUM!

The whole family will love this and you’ll be happy to know this recipe does use a boxed cake mix, so you can throw that together easily.  If you want to substitute the whipping cream, use 4 cups of cool whip for another shortcut.

Of course, feel free to add some chocolate syrup to the top for some extra chocolate flavor. Can we ever have enough?  Yes…but NOOOOOOO!

    Notes: Place malted milk balls and peanut butter M&M eggs in a ziploc back, zipped and use a hammer to tap them gently so they break into big pieces.
