This is an okay recipe. I did not go home with any empty dish. If made again I would omit the cinnamon from the topping. I thought it overpowered the other flavors.

I made this for a luncheon and got wonderful reviews. I made sure everyone knew that it contained peanut butter as someone present might have food allergies. It is indeed delicious!

I took this dessert to a potluck today & came home with an empty dish.Everyone loved it. I even had to give the recipe to one of the people.
