Chocolate Peanut Butter Layer Dessert
This chocolate peanut butter layer dessert is packed full of flavor! There’s a sweet and salty pretzel crust, a peanut butter cheesecake layer, chocolate pudding, hot fudge, and whipped cream. Add a drizzle of peanut butter on top with some chocolate curls! Peanut butter desserts don’t get tastier than this one!
So I feel like people love layered desserts and I want to make what people like. That’s why for this month’s peanut butter desserts bash, I made a chocolate peanut butter layer dessert with loads of layers.
The theme this month is peanut butter and pretzels. Of course, I can’t help but add chocolate into most peanut butter desserts. It’s a habit that I have that I’m not anxious to change. They belong together.
This layered dessert recipe doesn’t take long to throw together. I’ll admit it does dirty a couple of dishes, but really it’s not bad at all. I would say two bowls if you reuse the bowls for the next steps. I’m known to do that because I hate washing dishes. Even with a dishwasher. Hate it.
