Just made this and it smells and looks wonderful, my only gripe is that its a little dry but not overly so. It has a light peanut butter taste, I think i'll use less mini chocolate chips in the mix and maybe a 1/4 cup vegetable oil. Still very tasty!! I melted milk chocolate chips for the icing and put toffee bits as decoration instead of chopped peanuts.

this recipe was so delicious but i altered it a smidge, instead of yellow cake mix i used chocolate, i make it for everything, my family and friends love it with the chocolate.

This cake was a definite hit at our family function. I have never seen a cake disappear so quickly.

this one's a big hit every time i make it. i made it today with a different brand (i know, i'm so ashamed) cake mix and it still turned out great. this time i didn't have mix with pudding so i added extra butter. may not have been the right way to go, but it's delicious so that's all that matters!
