We liked this cake but feel it needs a little more peanut butter taste. Will make again adding more PB and PB chips. Dust with powdered sugar and serve!

Excellent! My husband has Requested it as his birthday cake this year. He said he could just take a fork to the pan and eat it for dinner tonight.

Being a huge chocolate and peanut butter fanatic, I was disappointed in this recipe. The cake was dry and lacked the peanut butter flavor. I would definitely use peanut butter chips on the top next time.

we all liked this cake, but my 58 year old son raved about it. I think I will use 3 cups marshmallows next time. They melt right into the cake.

I used sugar free cake mix, reduced fat peanut butter, and egg substitute and it turned out great. I also sprinkled with 1/2 c. chocolate chips and 1/2 c. peanut butter chips. I would make it again in a 10" x 15" pan next time.

Very yummy! I used half chocolate chips and half white chocolate. If you want more peanut butter flavor, use peanut butter chips.

This was a great moist cake. I skipped the marshmellows, but added some mini chocolate chips to the batter and put regular choc chips on the top. Everbody loved it. Will definitely make again.

Great easy cake--just make sure you watch your oven time as it can dry out quickly--would definately eat again.
