QUICK & EASY CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CAKE
This recipe came from a lady who used to make this for a bingo consession stand. It is soo good and soo easy. The hardest part is finding plain chocolate cake mix in a box! But I am sure you substitute a homemade chocolate cake as well. Just make sure it is plain chocolate because anything else (devils food, double choc, etc.) may be too rich. If you want, you could substitute light or sugar free items in order to be a little healthier.
