Peanut and Chocolate are my two favorite things. If I could bottle a Reese Peanut butter cup and drink it all day I would. But then I would probably passout of sugar shock. Anyway. This snack/dessert is super easy and a little goes a long way. I would not be able to eat more than two without a glass a milk in one sitting. Ok - maybe I ate three. But I'm sure it was a special occasion. I forget where I got this recipe, but whereever I got it - Thanks! Enjoy.
