I can't even begin to describe how awesome this stuff is. As long as you like PB & chocolate together, and as long as you like or don't mind cinnamon. Hot damn. You owe it to yourself to make this and blow away your friends/family at your next get together.

You CAN make it without the cinnamon, but it's just not as good (IMHO).

Let me know if you try it, I'd love some feedback.

That sounds really good;a

It DOES sound good... and I DO love p'butter and chocolate and cinnamon...

So, you put the frosting "on top" of the layer of peanut butter that you put on after the cake cooled some?

I'll try it sometime soon...
Thanks!
