Made this exactly as the recipe states. Absolutely a crowd pleaser! -
I haven't made this yet but I am definitely going to, maybe for Thanksgiving...my mouth is watering just looking at the picture. Thanks Chef Dee!!! -
Absolutely gets 5 stars i used dark chocolate brownies instead of the cake but this was outstanding thanks so much!!!! -
I've made this several times for family gathers because everyone requests it. I subbed brownies for the cake because I like a firmer texture, and on a family member's suggestions replaced the chips with diced peanut butter cups. Heaven! At the last family dinner I brought it to, my mother in law had to hide the bowl to ensure that everyone got a serving (even though I doubled the recipe), because it's that good! Everyone loves it! -

Excellent!! I made this the other night and served it 24 hours later for my peanut butter/chocolate lover boyfriends birthday.I tweaked it a bit. I did chocolate/peanut butter chunk brownie mix instead of a cake and didn't add any chips. I also used instant chocolate pudding (instead of vanilla) and 6 bars of reese's. Topped with warm butterscotch topping. Thank you Chef Dee this was perfect!
