Quick & Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box chocolate cake mix
1 1/4 cups water
1/3 cup oil
3 eggs
1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip (thawed)
2 tablespoons vanilla pudding (dry)
2 -3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (optional)

Preparation

CAKE:
Make cake as directed on box. (I always use the 13x9 pan.).
FROSTING:
In a medium bowl, mix the cool whip, pudding, and peanut butter until smooth.
Frost the cooled cake with the frosting. Put in the refrigerator for an hour or so (to give the frosting time to set up).
* Optional- If you like, you may drizzle chocolate syrup across the top for a pretty presentation.
** Cooking time includes chill time.
