Yummy 3-Ingredient, No-Bake, Chocolate-Peanut Butter Layer Cake
"I've made this several times, and have always had rave reviews! My teaching partner, a Reese's nut, loves this, and requests it as a b-day cake! It came from the 5/25/04 issue of Woman's Day. It's beautiful, easy, and rich-tasting, and it looks like I cut thin layers of cake, and painstakingly layered 6 layers with the peanut butter cream! LOL Enjoy!"

This was very easy to make. The taste was very, very rich. I used a large, square dinner plate to build my cake, and it was a good size. My crackers slid a bit, so mine wasn't the most attractive, but it tasted good enough. :) Next time I might half the recipe (since it's just me and the hubby) and use the extra chips to decorate like suggested in step 10 to fancy it up a bit. Thanks for posting!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a retired teacher, now, whose children have grown up, and abandoned me! ? Rather than cooking huge portions, I'm on the hunt for cooking-for-one ideas, or meals that can be tweaked, to make eating leftovers more varied and exciting. I have a pressure cooker, which I love, and I've been making yogurt, eggs, ribs, etc, in that. I still love to cook, and read (and, pin) recipes; but, my focus has changed, from when I first joined this site, in 2007.
