Recipe reads “one half creamy peanut butter” do you mean 1/2 cup, half a jar…? thanks for posting answer
Heidi says
Do you have to use dark chocolate cake mix? I prefer milk chocolate.
Frances says
I f I left the chocolate chips off would it be ok?
Terri says
Mine over flowed the pan! Not sure what I did wrong, any ideas?
Robin says
the video said/showed flour and the recipe said 4 cups of powdered sugar. which one is it?
Shirley says
Video names flour when it should say powered sugar as listed in the recipe. Also the amount of peanut butter is not given in the recipe. Looks delicious!.
Audrey says
This is currently a bubbling, oozing mess in my oven. I followed the recipe and when I watched the video it shows adding flour, which isn’t in your ingredients list anywhere. So now I have one hell of a mess to clean up. Ugh!
Kris Jackson says
Directions are terrible, dont “spread” lightly, cut througj cake with knife, marble. Spreading cooked over in over snf bakef for over one hr, threw in garbage.
Dawn Dedeaux says
I made this cake last weekend and omg it is waaaaaay to sweet , put vanilla ice on top to try and cut the sweetness and that didn’t work so ended up throwing it away it calls for too much powdered sugar so if anyone makes this use about 2 cups powdered sugar and taste it use more if you like but don’t use the 4 cups

There’s clearly a bundle to know about this. I assume you made sure nice points in features too.
Karen Snyder says
This recipe video shows flour being added, but it is not listed in the ingredients. How much is used?
