This dessert was so easy, and it tasted super, I would recommend making it same day as serving, yes the crackers do get soggy. And more peanut butter is always good. Was a great hit with my family.

It is very light and tasty. If using a 9X13 pan may need a few more wafer crackers then specified.

instead of adding the butter to the chocolate I made a ganache adding 1/4 to 1/3 cup of scalded cream to chopped chocolate ant that gave me a lovely silky topping. Also added 1/3 cup peanut butter to intensify the flavor.

If you love peanut butter this is the one for you! I normally don't love the taste of strong peanut butter but this with the chocolate, and crackers is so light and wonderful. Only thing I changed was I used milk chocolate on top.

The graham crackers got very soggy. It wasn't as good as it looked!

Verry tasty. Had to adjust the topping, too hard and cookies become very soft. But very good. Makes a messy treat.

This was a little taste of HEAVEN!!! If you do not like the topping so hard, just use more butter, another tablespoon should do it. It was fab, and the kids LOVED it.

My Husband and kids loved it so much, It is now one of their favorites! I made it with the chocolate pudding instead of vanilla and added a little more peanut butter. FANTASTIC!!!!

Easy to make. Tastes ok. Not overly great. Biggest problems are ..... Following the recipe you will not have enough chocolate to top the dessert. And the chocolate is so hard after refrigeration that cutting it is difficult and the smaller the pieces you try to cut.....the worse it gets and the more of a mess you make. Not much peanut butter taste. This dessert would be much better with a topping that is easier to cut. A Frosting would be better. Overall, I would not recommend....without making changes.
