Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Mix eggs until nice and yellow then continue mixing in the the remaining cake ingredients. Pour into a 15 x 2 pan and bake for about 15 minutes or until tests done.
- Immediately after removing from oven spread the 1 1/3 cup of peanut butter over hot cake. (I don't actually measure the peanut butter, I just use enough to give the cake a nice even layer.) Put aside and let cool. If I'm in a hurry I put it in the fridge to speed things up.
- When cake is cool but NOT cold melt the tablespoon of peanut butter along with the milk chocolate in the microwave,about 1 - 1.5 minutes. Spread over cake and cool completely before cutting.

TASTYKAKE KANDY KAKE LAYER CAKE
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.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent scrambling.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Unless otherwise specified, most baking recipes call for room temperature ingredients. This helps them blend together more easily and gives you a better final product.
- Measuring Accurately: Use measuring cups and spoons that are specifically designed for cooking. Level off dry ingredients with a knife or straight edge to ensure accurate measurements.
- Creaming Butter and Sugar: This step is essential for creating a light and fluffy cake. Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until they are pale yellow and fluffy.
- Folding Ingredients: When adding dry ingredients to your batter, do so gently and in stages. Over-mixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Baking Times and Temperatures: Every oven is different, so it's important to keep an eye on your cake as it bakes. Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
Conclusion:
Kandy Kakes are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of these delicious cakes that are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
