Just received my change over today and my DH squealed like a little girl when he saw the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Torte. I agree looks wonderful.

One thing though: I don't like marshmallows can somebody think of something that would be good instead of them? Is the marshmallow taste very strong?
 
The marshmallows melt and create a really yummy peanut buttery goo. I think you'd want to still use them and see, cause it's really a great tasting recipe! :)
 
You can't taste the marshmallows in it. :)

I LOVE this torte!

Thanks I'll make it as is. I'll have to make it when some people are around or I'll end up eating the whole thing myself!!!!
 
I didn't like the thought of marshmallows either, but the torte was wonderful. I didn't feel the marshmallows, which is part of why I don't like them in recipes. The peanut butter takes over the marshmallow flavor. Very good.
 
I was worried about it too, but they give a nice "break" to all the chocolate and peanut butter goodness.
 
rave reviews from the show that I made it at this month.
 
I'm glad to read I'm not the only one who turned my nose at marshmallows. I will say I have made it three times now and :sing:LOVE it!!!
 
It's better warm, so if it cools completely, just zap individual pieces in the microwave for a couple of seconds. ;)
