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

Is it one small box of the chocolate fudge pudding? Recipe calls for 3.9 ounces but neither the large or small box of Jello Pudding is "3.9" oz?

Many thanks for a response as I'm making this tomorrow.

This is a favorite at my house. I have made it many many times for friends family and coworkers. I cannot count how many people have literally begged me for this recipe. I make it several times a year. It is absolutely delicious.

I made this for the Father's Day and then my daughter made this for Thanksgiving. Everyone loves this dessert. It takes a little while to assemble, but it is definitely a keeper!

i've made this three times in the last year. Every holiday someone calls and requests it. It's been a big hit.
