HomemadeTastykake Kandy Kakes

"I am a Pennsylvania gal through and through. Love the state, love the food and love the people. One of my favorite PA treats are small cakes and cupcakes made by Tastykake out of Philadelphia PA. A friend of mine loves the Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes so I came up with this recipe so that she can have the taste of them any time (even though you can order them from their website). This is super simple box cake recipe that only takes minutes to make. I think the reason it works is because of the particular brands of cake mix and frosting. Hope you enjoy."

• CAKE:
• 1 (18 1/4 ounce) boxes Pillsbury Moist Supreme Classic White Cake Mix

REVIEW:

THANK YOU FOR POSTING! I am also a PA girl and I this is hands down my favorite Tastykake that is made. When I stumbled across this, I had to try it. It was almost like eating the real thing! My sister (who eats no junk food) had 2 pieces! My son also asked if I could make this as his birthday cake. I think the only thing I would do differently next time is melt chocolate chips and pour them over the peanut butter so it hardens up like the chocolate in the original. But no complaints here. This was great!
