Chocolate Peanut Butter Gooey Cake
"Jenny found this recipe when she was babysitting. Our whole family is a fan of chocolate and peanut butter. I took it to a potluck at school and it was so well liked that they had me make 2 for the next faculty meeting. It is rich, but the calories are worth it!"

SO GREAT! My whole family LOVED it, my daughter helped me make it, so easy to follow. We really loved the aroma it had while baking...totally filled the house!!!! -
What a luscious dessert! I made this for my husband for his birthday because he loves peanut butter cups. I ended up passing the rest of the cake out to my grown children, because if it had stayed in the house, we would have eaten the whole thing. It was very rich and creamy. All of the kids have asked for the recipe, so it was a definite hit. I will definitely be making this again.
