For me, the ideal dessert combines the flavors of chocolate and peanut butter. So when I came up with this rich treat, it quickly became my all-time favorite. It's a cinch to whip together because it doesn't require any baking. —Debbie Price, LaRue, Ohio

Excellent dessert! My fiance absolutely loved it and has already asked if I can make it again! I used chunky peanut butter instead of creamy as well and it turned out really well. It was a nice way to put that much needed crunch in the middle of all the deliscious creamy-ness. It a winner in this house and will certainly be used again thank you!

I was a little intimidated by this recipe at first, but it turned out beautifully. To make it easier to crush the cookies, I put them in the fridge to get cold, then placed in a sandwich bagand using a mallet, pounded the cookies till they were crushed. I also placed the peanut butter cups in the fridge to make cutting them easier. Everyone loved this recipe and I make it as the recipe states. The presentation was awesome.
