Do you like chocolate and peanut butter? This dessert is for that chocoholic.... My daughter requested it for her birthday instead of cake. It looks very rich, but actually isn't. The peanut butter taste is mellowed by whipped topping and pudding.
Enjoy!

I'm giving both of these blogs credit because I first found it on "The Girl Who Ate Everything" blog, but she mentions "The Sister's Café" blog also. I'm with them... it's a great dessert!

Is it ok to make the day before and chill over night?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely.... this dessert lasts a few days. It is so yummy. You would think that it would be really rich, but it is pretty light.
DeleteHave you tried using chocolate pudding instead of the vanilla?
ReplyDeleteNo.....the vanilla tones down the peanut butter. It makes it really creamy.
