Peanut Butter Poke Cake Brownies Recipe
Brownies are one of my favorite desserts. Peanut butter is also at the top of my list. So why not combine the two? Thanks to this sponsored post by Kraft and Lunchbox, I have created this delicious Peanut Butter Poke Cake Brownies recipe found on the Walmart website. Since we made poke cake in the past, why not try poke brownies?
The kids are back in school, the holidays are coming up, and pre-season football games are already in full swing, so it’s time to start trying new dessert recipes. I chose to make the Peanut Butter Poke Cake Brownies because they sounded just heavenly. The recipe was among many other drool-worthy ones that I had to choose from. I cannot wait to try them, either!

- Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with crumbs (don't overbake)
- Cool completely
- Make holes at the top of the brownies. The original recipe suggests 24 holes. I ended up with 14 I think. Just use a small spoon and space them out as well as you can.
- Reserve the removed pieces for topping
Topping
- Beat pudding mixes and milk in a medium bowl with a whisk for 2 minutes6.8 oz Vanilla Instant Pudding, 2 cups milk
- Add 2/3 cup peanut butter and mix well¾ cups peanut butter

- After the brownie has totally cooled, spoon on the topping and spread.
- Top with the brownie pieces that you removed for the holes.

These brownies are delicious and the topping is just dreamy. I might use it as frosting for other desserts as well. Peanut butter frosting will be good on many different desserts.

I want to try this poke cake, but I have a question on the instructions. After poking holes in the cake do you pour the pudding over the brownie cake or mix the pudding with the peanut butter and cool whip? I thought the holes were so that something went into them?
Hi Stephanie! Yes, I need to clear these instructions up. I mixed the pudding, peanut butter, and cool whip together. You pour it all over the brownie and it settles into the holes. Then just spread the rest like it’s a frosting. Hope that helps! 🙂
