This dessert really speaks for itself, which is good, because I had a very hard time naming it. You see, this recipe comes from a friend, who got it from a friend, who I guess didn't share an offical name, because my friend calls it "Mel's Peanut Butter Layered Dessert." So, to me, it was nameless. I posted for suggestions on Twitter and Facebook, but nothing stood out. It's now just Chocolate Oreo & Peanut Butter Dessert, which can mean so many things, but again, the ingredients listed below will draw you in.
I've made this quite a few times now. Still haven't captured the perfect photo, but I could no longer wait to share it with you. The recipe makes a ton, which is perfect for serving at parties. I halved it the last two times, into a 9x9x2-inch pan, which was perfect for six+ servings.
Someone suggested naming this Seven Layer Heaven. I agree with the "heaven" part, but just couldn't justify the seven layers. After you try this, I think you'll also agree that "heaven" should be part of the name.

I made this not too long ago for a family get together, and WOW!! I told my sister she could take the leftovers home and she said "What leftovers?" It was gone within an hour! It is very rich, but VERY worth it. Thanks!

I made this for Easter! It was wonderful and not nearly as sweet as I thought it would be. My son said it tasted like a Butterfinger in a bowl. Thanks!

Sounds pretty rich. Definitely a chocolate & PB lovers dream.
Btw, I have those same mini truffle glasses! I just got the C&B.
