Thanks for being so quick to respond too.

Here's a recipe I received from my director when I first started. I hope it can work for you.

Reese's Cup Pizza

13 x 9 brownie mix and ingredients to make cake like brownies
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
Hershey's syrup
1/4 cup spanish peanuts

Make brownie mix as directed for cake like brownies. Place parchement paper on large round stone. Spread brownie mix on the parchement paper. Bake at 350F for 10 - 12 minutes. Let cool completely! Blend cream cheese, brown sugar and peanut butter. Spread on cooled brownie. Top with syrup and peanuts.

I also recently made the Chocolate Mint Silk Torte, but I substituted peanut butter cups for the mint candies and substituted vanilla extract for the mint and it was delicious! I made my husband take it to work so that we would stop eating it....it worked out well though!
 
Oh, Teresa, I'm going to have to try this. SOON!
 
There is a chocolate/peanutbutter cake in the stoneware sensations cookbook.
 
Don't forget the famous "Peanutty Brownie Pizza" from the Delightful Desserts cookbook! It's fabulous!!!

Janet,
When you make the peanut butter cup trifle, which pan do you use to make the brownies?

Wanna come to my fundraiser show Tuesday night? That's what I am making!!
 
I do the Warm Nutty Caramel Brownies, but with Mini Peanut Butter Cups instead of Rolos...

They're always a HUGE hit!
 
Can you tell me the amount of peanut butter and chocolate chips for that recipe - I downloaded it, but my mac isn't showing the fractions.

Thank you - it sounds awesome and I want to try it!

I also did a chocolate PB trifle the other night for the first time - but the recipe I had called for a large box of vanilla pudding instead of chocolate and more peanut butter cups. It was awesome and probably lighter than Janet's because of the vanilla - BUT I am a huge chocoholic and hers sounds better to me because more chocolate. Has anyone tried it both ways? Which is better?

People loved the one we did - but I might have to test out the other way too...
