The Next Best Thing To Chocolate: Peanut Butter Sheet Cake

Peanut Butter

This whole entire cake consists of peanut butter, so if you are not a fan of peanut butter you are definitely in the wrong place.

Peanut butter is one of the most versatile ingredients out there.

It can be used in main dishes, snacks, and desserts. It is an excellent ice cream topper when you melt it.

Have you ever made or tried a Texas sheet cake?

This is just like a Texas sheet cake, but the hole entire thing is peanut butter.

I had a partial bag of milk chocolate chips, so I sprinkled them into the cake batter before baking. Is there anything better than chocolate and peanut butter? NOPE!!

Even the glaze that is poured on top of the cake is peanut butter.

This is one that I will be making again, and again. For the simple fact, it is constructed in just minutes.

Perfect dish to take to pot-lucks, parties, and family get-together's.

This will be going to church with me in the morning.

The glaze is magnificent. Peanut butter and marshmallow.....PERFECT!!
