I never use box mixes...ever! but it was my brother-in-law's birthday, I'd had a late night at work and so I turned to Betty crocker but gave it my own twist! and made it personal for my peanut butter loving brother-in-law!

Bake your box mix cake. I chose Devil's Food cake by Betty Crocker because it's a classic. Leave it to cool
In the meantime start making your delicious peanut butter frosting. You will need: 2 cups Icing (Powdered) Sugar 1/4 cup semi-skimmed milk 1/4 cup unsalted organic butter 1/2 cup smooth organic peanut butter 1 tsp vanilla 1. Blend all the ingredients together in a freestanding mixer until smooth.
Add half of your frosting to one layer of your cake. Chop up Peanut M&M's into quarters or smaller and spread them all over the top of the frosting.
Put the 2nd layer on top of the frosting and crushed up M&M's. Make a small amount of chocolate frosting using icing sugar, butter, a drop of milk and some melted milk chocolate (only use half of what you melt). I just eyeballed this. Pipe chocolate swirls around the edge of the cake using a piping bag and a star nozzle. Put the other half of the melted chocolate into a piping bag and drizzle it over the cake. Put one M&M on top of each swirl. Eat and enjoy!
