CHOCOLATE CHIP PEANUT BUTTER POUND CAKE W/ PEANUT BUTTER GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray 10-cup tube pan generously with nonstick spray (I like the Pam Baking Spray).
• Prepare cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together peanut butter and butter. Add sugar and beat an additional 5 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until well combined. Add dry ingredients a little at a time, beating just until incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips. Scrape batter into prepared tube pan. Tap it a couple of times on the counter to shake out any hidden air pockets.
• Bake 1 hour and 20 minutes, checking on the cake at 1 hour to make sure it's not browning too quickly on top. If browning too quickly, just place a piece of foil loosely over the top of the pan. When a toothpick is inserted into the center of the cake and comes out clean, your cake is done. Let cool for 20 minutes, then flip it onto a rack or platter and let it cool completely.
• Prepare glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, peanut butter and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle glaze over the top of the cooled cake, letting it drizzle down the sides. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top. The glaze will set eventually- if you'd like to quicken the setting process, just place it into the refrigerator for a bit.

REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare cake according to directions for a 9X13 pan. Set aside to cool.
• For the frosting, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar and vanilla with mixer. Add small amounts of milk until desired consistency is achieved. You want a thinner consistency for easier cutting.
• Spread frosting evenly over cool cake. (Hint -- if cake is partially frozen, there is less "tearing" when spreading the frosting.).
• For the ganache, place the chocolate chips in a heat proof bowl. In a saucepan, whisk together the heavy cream and the vanilla and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Pour over the chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk until completely smooth then pour over peanut butter frosting.
• Sprinkle the chopped peanut butter cups over the warm chocolate to ensure it sticks. Chill for about 30 minutes to set chocolate.
• As an alternative; you can also use a bundt cake pan. Double your peanut butter frosting ingredients. Fill the bundt pan halfway, add a thin layer of peanut butter frosting, then fill the remainder with the cake mix. Make the peanut butter frosting a little thinner so it "drips" better.
• Another idea would be to add the chopped peanut butter cups to the cake mix before baking.

REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE POKE CAKE

Steps:

• Bake a chocolate cake with your recipe of choice in a 9x13 pan
• Use the bottom of a wooden spoon to poke holes evenly throughout the cake. I usually end up poking 20-25 holes.
• Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over top of the cake, aiming to fill up the holes.
• Scrape the hot fudge into a medium bowl. Add the 1/4 cup peanut butter. Microwave for 30 seconds. Mix until smooth and spread over the cake.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp peanut butter with the cool whip (I use a hand mixer here, but it's not a big deal to do it by hand).
• Spread the peanut butter cool whip over top.
• Chill for at least 4 hours (overnight is really best).
• Top with chopped Reese's cups and Reese's Pieces (you can add these before chilling, but the Reese's Pieces candy coating will bleed onto the cool whip when chilled).
• Serves approximately 12 (large pieces).

REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

• In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar.
• Stir in eggs, vanilla, and mashed bananas until well blended.
• Stir chips into wet mixture.
• Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir by hand until it is mostly mixed. (This is important. Do not over-mix, or it will be dry and rubbery! It's ok to see flour spots here and there in the batter.).
• Pour batter into loaf pan. Bake in oven for about 45 minutes (I only have one loaf pan so cooking time might vary if cooking two loaves at once).
• Let bread cool for about 10 minutes, then remove from pan and let cool on wire rack.
