In a 13 x 9 inch cake pan, prepare and bake the cake according to the package instructions. Allow the cake to cool 15-20 minutes; poke holes in the cake every 1/2 - 1 inch with the round end of a wooden spoon.
Pour the pudding mix into a medium bowl; add the milk; whisk briskly for 2 minutes or until pudding mix is dissolved; whisk in 1/2 c. peanut butter until combined and smooth.
Pour the pudding mixture over the cake, filling in the holes as much as possible.
In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate frosting for 15-20 seconds, or until it can be poured easily; drizzle over the cake; spread evenly with the back of a spoon or an offset spatula.
Let the cake cool completely.
In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 c. peanut butter and whipped topping; spread over the cake. Garnish with the peanut butter cups.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Store covered in the refrigerator.
24 servings.
*You can add more whipped topping to lighten up the frosting, if desired.
