Peanut Butter Lover's Icebox Cake
This is one of our most decadent no bake dessert recipes ever.
If you’re worried that you don’t have enough peanut butter desserts in your life, then this recipe will solve that problem right away. This incredible peanut butter icebox cake has plenty of salty, nutty goodness (and, of course, some chocolate to go with it). Besides its irresistible flavor, the other best thing about this cake is that it’s an easy no bake recipe. All you have to do is layer the delicious ingredients together. The hardest part by far of making this icebox cake is waiting for it to chill overnight!
From the Chef: Peanut butter fanatics are going to go wild for this one. It has a triple helping of peanut butter provided by the sandwich cookies, peanut butter cups, and creamy peanut butter itself. I drizzled chocolate and caramel sauces on top, but if you want to amp up the peanut butter flavor even more, feel free to drizzle some melted peanut butter on top (or even add peanut butter chips!).

This stuff is so good - it is like a giant fully loaded sundae! I skipped the chocolate and caramel since I didn't have any on hand, but I dotted the top with mini chocolate chips and chopped cocktail peanuts. It was a big hit with both the kids and the adults! A great cool treat for your next outdoor summer party!
