I made this for my son's 16th birthday. He is a culinary student and requested lava cake, but when I came across this recipe.....He said it was better than the lava cake. Thank you for sharing this. It was great.

I have not made this, but am looking at a cookbook with same recipe and the vegetable oil amount is 1 tablespoon. Looks good.

My husband LOVED this! Recipe didn't say how much oil to use so I guessed and used 1/4 cup. Very good peanut buttery flavor and the fudge sauce is excellent! I'll definitely make this again!
