Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9"x13" pan with parchment paper and grease.
Prepare the cake batter as per the package instructions and pour it into the prepared pan. Bake for about 25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.
Poke holes all over the cooled cake using the back of a wooden spoon. Pour melted peanut butter over the surface to fill the holes.
In a bowl, cream together peanut butter and softened butter with an electric mixer until combined. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until fluffy; beat in heavy cream if needed.
Spread frosting evenly over the cake and top with chopped candy pieces.
