• Cut off the domed top of the cake if one has formed, and save for another use (or eat!). Cut the cake horizontally into 3 layers and put them on a work surface Use a paring knife to cut out a 3 1/2-inch hole from the middle layer; set the cake layer aside (save the cutout for another use).

REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUP CAKE - USE UP THAT HALLOWEEN CANDY!

• Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes. Cool.
• Blend icing ingredients together and spread on cake.

REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUP CAKE POPS

Steps:

• 1. You can either make your own vanilla or devil's food cake from scratch or if time is short you can make a store bought mix. Follow box directions and add 1/2-3/4 of a cup of creamy peanut butter. You can add more or less depending on how strong you like it. Allow to cool completely.
• 2. Once cooled, crumble the cake with a fork into small pieces. Melt 3 regular size or 6 small Reese's peanut butter cups in the microwave in 30 second increments. Do not substitute any other type of peanut butter cup. The flavor will not be the same!
• 3. Add the slightly cooled peanut butter cups to 3/4 of a cup of your own home made cream cheese frosting and gently incorporate into the cake crumbs. Mix with a spoon until frosting is completely combined with cake. You can use 3/4 of a cup of store bought cream cheese frosting. Either will work.
• 4. Roll mixture into half dollar size balls and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet. (Should make 20-24).
• 5. Place them in the freezer for a little while to firm up (at least a few hours). Ideally you will want to plan ahead and leave them in the freezer overnight. They are so much easier to deal with then.
• 6. Before you take the cake pops out of the freezer, melt chocolate (you will need 2 packages for this many cake pops) in the microwave per directions on package. (30 sec intervals, stirring in between). I like to use the dark chocolate, but you can also use the peanut butter flavored melts. Merckens makes the best, but Wilton's will work too. You can buy them online at:http://www.streichs.com/Chocolates/Merckens-Candy-Melts-1lb.html
• 7. Once you are ready to begin,remove cake pops from freezer. Dip the tip of your lollipop stick in a little of the melted candy coating and insert into the cake balls. (Insert about half way.)
• 8. Once firm, carefully insert the cake ball into the candy coating by holding the lollipop stick and (using a spoon) pour the melted chocolate over the cake pop until covered. Coat them twice and make sure to make a complete seal around the entire cake pop. Especially the base when the stick was inserted. Once covered, rotate until the excess chocolate falls off. Don't tap too hard or the cake ball will fall off as well!
• 9. When the chocolate is almost set, sprinkle the top half of the cake pop with ground up butter finger candy bars, finely chopped peanut butter cups, or orange and brown decorative sprinkles.
• 10. Using a styrofoam block set in a box or flip a large size box over and punch holes in it with a screw driver, set them in the block or box to dry. Do not place them in the block until they are almost set, otherwise you will get a big chocolate mess!
• 11. Once completely set, you can use the smaller lollipop bags and decorative ribbon to cover them. I like to coordinate the ribbon with the type of cake pop. I used brown and orange striped ribbon for my peanut butter cake pops. Enjoy!

To prepare cream cheese frosting place softened cream cheese and butter in mixing bowl, beat on med-high speed until creamy smooth. Slowly beat in powdered sugar until a good spreading consistency forms. I used almost the entire bag of powdered sugar. Refrigerate for a good hour before frosting. Turn cake onto wax paper with a large serrated knife cut each cake in half width wise to form four layers. Place one layer onto a cake stand and drizzle melted peanut butter over the top. Next spread a generous amount of cream cheese frosting over that. Place another cake layer on top and repeat peanut butter and frosting until top layer is placed.

PEANUT BUTTER CUP ICEBOX CAKE

Steps:

• For the milk chocolate ganache: Place the chocolate and salt in a medium heatproof bowl and set aside. In a small saucepan, heat the cream over medium-high heat just until bubbles begin to form around the edges.
• Pour the warm cream over the chocolate and salt and let sit for 1 minute so it begins to melt. Gently whisk together until fully incorporated and shiny.
• Let come to room temperature, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and is less like chocolate syrup and pours more like hot fudge.
• (To make ahead, let cool to room temperature, cover, and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Reheat over medium-low heat until liquefied.)
• For the pudding: In a large saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add the milk and cream and whisk to combine. Add the eggs, whisk again, and place the saucepan over medium-high heat, whisking constantly.
• Once the mixture begins to thicken and bubbles begin popping on the surface, turn the heat to medium and whisk vigorously for 45 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat.
• If the pudding has any lumps, strain it through a medium-mesh wire sieve into a heatproof bowl. Add the peanut butter, butter, and vanilla and whisk until they are incorporated.
• The pudding should be used almost immediately; it should still be warm and relatively pourable when you layer it with the crackers.
• For the whipped cream: Refrigerate the bowl of a stand mixer and the whisk attachment (or a medium metal bowl and beaters from a hand mixer) until quite cold, about 15 minutes.
• Once chilled, remove the bowl and whisk from the refrigerator, add the cream, and whip it on medium speed until just thickened.
• Add the peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla and, on medium-high speed, whip the cream until it holds stiff peaks that stand upright when the whisk is raised. Use it immediately.
• To assemble: Lightly coat the sides of your springform pan with cooking spray, and line the sides of the pan with a 3-by-29-inch (7.5-by-75-centimeter) strip of parchment paper. Using a small offset spatula or the back of a spoon, spread a generous layer of the pudding on the bottom of the pan.
• Cover as much of the pudding as possible with a layer of the graham crackers, filling any gaps with broken crackers. The pieces should touch. The goal is a solid layer of crackers.
• Generously spread a layer of the ganache over the crackers.
• Continue layering in this order (pudding, graham crackers, ganache) until you run out or reach the top of the pan. Spread the whipped cream on top of the cake. Gently cover the cake with plastic wrap, place it on a platter (to protect the inside of your refrigerator from any escaping ganache while the cake sets up), and refrigerate for 24 hours. (If you want to frost the sides of the cake with whipped cream, prepare the whipped cream after the cake sets up for 24 hours, and frost the top and sides just prior to serving.)
• Peel the plastic wrap from the cake and run a paring knife between the paper and the pan. Open the clamp, remove the pan sides, and gently peel back the parchment paper. Transfer the cake, still on the pan bottom, to a serving platter. Decorate with chopped chocolate-covered peanut butter cups or roasted, salted peanuts. Using a knife, slice into wedges and serve.
