Chocolate Peanut Butter Yumminess

One of John's favorite cakes is a chocolate peanut butter recipe I found last summer. It's really simple since you basically just add peanut butter to a chocolate cake mix.

I had been wanting to test out a certain shape for John's groom's cake for the rehearsal dinner, so I bought some pie tins to try to replicate the shape of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup (one of John's favorite candies). It actually turned out pretty well - and the chocolate ganache I added on top helped give it that chocolate candy appearance.

I think if I tried doing it again, I would probably not mix the peanut butter directly in, but rather, try layering it between the cake mix before baking it to make it even more like a Reese's. Not sure if that would actually work or not...
