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!

Peanut Butter Poke Cake Brownies Recipe #CookingUpGood

We like poke cake, so why not poke brownies? Peanut butter poke cake brownies are super moist and delicious. 

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 1 hour

Ingredients

  • 36.8 oz brownie mix, 2 packages
  • 6.8 oz vanilla instant pudding, 2 packages
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 3/4 cups peanut butter, creamy, divided
  • 2 cups whipped topping, thawed, Cool Whip

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Make brownie batter per instructions on the box
  3. Pour into a 13 x 9 inch baking dish that you have coated with cooking spray
  4. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with crumbs (don't overbake)
  5. Cool completely
  6. 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.
  7. Reserve the removed pieces for topping

Topping

  1. Beat pudding mixes and milk in a medium bowl with a whisk for 2 minutes
  2. Add 2/3 cup peanut butter and mix well

  37. 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! 🙂
