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

I didn't enjoy the texture or the taste of this dessert, but my kids liked it.

AMAZING tasting. I wouldn't have put it in the "simple" section though. It took my two hours and too many dirty dishes!

This recipe is awesome! Everyone that tried it wanted the recipe. Very rich, have made it several time. I want to eat the whole pan myself and not share. LOL

What does she mean by fold in the whipped topping?

I made this for a Memorial Day party. It was outragously delicious! I did increase the recipe, 1 1/2 to make it in a 13 x 9 pan which worked out well. Nobody could get enough of this dessert!

I made this dessert on Memorial Day and for a family dinner yesterday. It was thoroughly enjoyed both times! The recipe is easy to put together and comes in handy on HOT summer days - no baking required! The first time I made it, I didn't put the whipped topping in the peanut butter and cream cheese layer and it still turned out great. I suggest using a dish larger than 9" square and adding more crushed cookies for the crust.

Made it for Fathers Day and everyone loved it. Was not hard to make. Did not find it over rich. I did add more peanut butter cups. Would make it again.

I happened to have Oreo cookies with green mint filling and used this for the recipe. It was delicious!!
