Let cakes cool completely.Meanwhile, make peanut butter cookie dough: Microwave flour until the flour has reached about 160° in temperature, 2 to 3 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Add in flour, vanilla, salt, and milk until fluffy.

Fold in chocolate chips.Make ganache: Place chocolate chips in a medium, heatproof bowl and set aside. Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. When bubbles begin to break the surface around the edges of the pan, turn off the heat.

Pour the hot cream over chocolate chips, whisking constantly until the sauce is smooth.Spread cookie dough onto one of the cooled cakes. Place the second cake on top. Cover with ganache, drizzle with peanut butter, then top with chopped Reese’s.

Let ganache set for about 10 minutes then slice and serve.
