Reese’s Crockpot Cake (Delicious FAIL)
Print
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 2 hours
Total time: 2 hours 15 mins
Serves: 6-8
This was a slight crockpot fail. Now don’t get me wrong, it was delicious, but as you’ll see in the pictures, we had a few problems. Next time (and yes there will be a next time) it can be fixed, and no one will have any additional whip cream to hide the craters. (Again see the pictures below) ;)
Ingredients
  • Two boxes of cake mix (and related ingredients)
  • Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Instructions
  1. Grease the crockpot
  2. Add the yellow cake mix
  3. Add the chocolate cake mix
  4. Add the Reese’s on top (thus fixing my mistake)
  5. Bake for two hours on HIGH (or until a toothpick comes out clean)
  6. Enjoy!

I was in the mood for something different tonight….I had a bag of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and I thought….hmmmm.  Chocolate, Peanut butter and cake…PERFECT!

I mixed my cake mixes, placing the yellow cake on the bottom, in a sprayed crockpot.

I then placed lots and lots of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups in the batter

Then I added the chocolate batter, yea I know what you’re thinking….why did I do this in a crockpot?!  Could you wait 2 hours for it to get done?!

With most all baking in the crockpot, cover the crockpot with some paper towels (or a towel) to trap moisture and seal in heat.

Two hours later….I couldn’t wait to get it out!!!

Then disappointment!!  Many of the Reese Cups sank to the bottom and burned slightly! :(

It looked like a crater cake!!

But no matter, find the good pieces and make due!!  This cake was completely eaten and enjoyed, some pieces just had more whip cream than others! ;)

So how would I turn this Crockpot Fail into a Success…well that’s simple, instead of layering my cake in the middle, I’d simply place the Reese’s on the top of the cake.  If they sink slightly that’s okay, because they’d have to sink a good ways to get to the bottom.  I would also add a little peanut butter to the yellow cake batter to make it more like a Reese’s!  Enjoy my flop, hopefully you can make it pop!!

    I’ve learned with cakes mixes and things, and it helps if you shake the candy in the pre made mix, they won’t sink to the bottom. I do this with all my chocolate chips I add to cake, so in theory it should work here too.

    Oh yummy! Think I will use the Reese’s minis for this-not heavy enought to sink. Thanks for the great recipe!

    I made this yesterday. It worked well but even from the top layer the candies sunk to the bottom. I used mini reeses and even quartered them.

    Just toss the reeses in some flour or the dry mix before placing on top. Helps them “grab” the batter so they don’t sink.

    Would it help to wait 20 to 30 minutes to put in the Reese’s so the batter can set up a little? Might keep them from sinking.
