What an absolutely wonderful recipe!!! It was so delicious!! I took this to thanksgiving dinner and my mother in law could not get over how well it tasted! It was very impressive also! -
Absolutely fabulous! Yes, it is a little time-consuming and so rich it will curb a week's worth of choc-pb cravings :) but so worth it for that special occasion or someone. Pure ecstasy! -
I made this 12/07 for the first time. Have had several family/friend requests that I bring this dessert. Perfect for OSU (GO BUCKS) fans - especially baby or wedding showers or other occasions that call for a decadent dessert -
This is a great cake, but takes a bit of time to make. It is very rich, so cut in small portions. My family and friends loved it--I have made it several times. It is very impressive looking, but not difficult to make.

I also found this on Nestle's website & made it for my birthday last spring ~ it is the best! To answer the previous review, yes, it is suppose to be a dense cake (brownie-like). I've made it twice so far and it's perfect every time (and addicting!). I plan on making it for our family Christmas get-together ~ it is always a huge hit and a small slice goes a long way.

Yet another feature change that has made the website less user friendly. It's sad to watch a fantastic site deteriorate over the years. Some of my recipes are on my blog.
