    Recipe




    Preheat oven to 325.

    Butter, flour two 8 or 9" cake pans, set aside.

    In bowl of mixer, cream butter, peanut butter on medium speed until smooth, combined.

    Add eggs, mix after each, until completely combined.

    Add vanilla.

    With mixer on medium low, add cake mix, water alternately, starting, ending with cake mix.

    Spread batter in pans, bake about 30 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched in center.

    Allow cakes to cool in pans 5-10 minutes, then turn onto a baking rack to cool completely.

    Place metal mixing bowl, your mixer's whisk attachment in freezer about 10 minutes.

    While that is chilling,

    Make Ganache:

    In a microwave bowl, combine cream, peanut butter, peanut butter chips.

    Heat about 2 minutes, stopping to stir every 15 seconds until melted, smooth.

    Stir in corn syrup (or honey) set aside to cool slightly.

    Once metal bowl has chilled, prepare whipped cream frosting:

    Pour cream, vanilla, powdered sugar in mixing bowl.

    Beat on high speed with whisk attachment until thick, be careful, it can turn into butter if beaten too long.

    Fold in crushed candy bars.

    Assemble cake:

    Place 1 cake round on a plate, flat side (bottom) facing up.

    Spread whipped cream over top, place other cake round (flat/bottom side up again) on top.

    Frost completely with whipped cream.

    Spoon ganache on top, spreading to edges, letting it drip down sides.

    Garnish with additional crushed candy if desired.

    Store uneaten cake in refrigerator.
