Chocolate-Covered Pretzel Cake
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (I use Cake Boss Chocolate Trifecta)
- 1 can cream cheese frosting
- 1/3 cup peanut butter, creamy/smooth
- 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
- 6 cups chocolate-covered pretzels, 2 cups crushed and 4 cups left whole
- Whole peanuts
- Chocolate shavings
Preparation
For the cake: Follow instructions for store-bought chocolate cake mix to yield either two 9-inch cake layers or three 6-inch cake layers. Set aside on wire rack and allow to cool before removing from pans.
For the frosting: In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the can of cream cheese frosting and peanut butter. Add milk, gradually adding in until desired consistency.
Proceed to frost sides and top with remaining frosting. Around the edges of the cake’s top, sprinkle whole peanuts and chocolate shavings in a circle. Gently press the whole chocolate-covered pretzels shavings into the sides of the cake.
