I love this dessert and it's always a hit when I bring it to functions! An easy, quick tip: use a big jar of Hershey's Hot Fudge instead of making the topping from "scratch". Very quick and tastes awesome!

Ohmygosh! This is so wonderful. I love the crunch of the peanuts and the chocolate sauce is to die for. I made it a second time and used Hersheys Hot fudge as someone suggested and that was great too! I think next I'll make it with caramel fudge topping. Mmmmmmm
