Peanut Butter Pudding Dessert
Here's a fun, layered dessert that will appeal to all ages. If you want it even nuttier, you can use chunky peanut butter, and if you're not a fan of cashews, substitute your favorite nut. This peanut butter lasagna is one of my favorite pudding desserts. —Barbara Schindler, Napoleon, Ohio

A friend of mine gave me a recipe just like this in the late 80's but instead of cashews we used peanuts in the crust
yummy, have made this without peanutbutter, great recipe to make your own, you do not need to use peanutbutter you can use other nut butters
What a great dessert! Cold, rich and delicious. It was a hit at our family get together this past Christmas. I'm already coming up with other flavor ideas. I will definitely make this again. Though the recipe says serves 16 , to present it properly to your guests, it should be cut into no more than 12 squares.
I am not a fan of peanut butter, but my whole family is..so I made this easy to make dessert and my husband and grand kids loved it. I did taste the finished product, and I must say I liked it. Not too sweet. The only change I made was using pecans instead of cashews, hubby is not a fan!
I made the crust with Pecan sandies just after putting some butter on them I popped it in the oven.
Love peanut butter-most of the days buy peanut candy-available at the local store here in palakkad-kerala-India,also get hershey peanut butter-buy it sometimes-recipe is good-hope somebody can make it for me.????.p vinod
This was great! easy to put together but next time going to add 1/2 cup more flour and butter for the crust.
Made this for the first Packer pre-season game party of the year. Wrote "Go Pack Go!" with the cashew and chocolate pieces on top. It was devoured!! Absolutely delish!
I've made this dessert without cashews and peanut butter for decades. I use well-chopped walnuts and everything else. I also melt the butter on 50% power and let it cool a bit. So much better and easier. I just now made it with the peanut butter. FANTASTIC. Cannot wait for the next family function. It will be devoured!! For right now, its all MINE!!???
The problem with this recipe is once you get started you don't know when to stop. This one of the sweet indulging recipe you owe yourself once in a while.
