I have to give credit to LevaNews for this recipe. One of favorite desserts is my Chocolate Éclair Cake. The last time I made it, they suggested that we try a Peanut Butter Chocolate Éclair Cake. I happen to love peanut butter and chocolate, so I thought that was a fantastic idea!!
I made a few simple changes to the original recipe and we had our creation. It was absolutely delicious! We both loved it. This Chocolate Peanut Butter Eclair Cake is so light; it is hard to stop eating! I always make this the day before I want to serve it. It gets better the longer it sits in the fridge.
This cake is great for potlucks and parties. It makes a ton and is a great make-ahead dessert. I love to serve this when we have friends over for dinner. It always gets rave reviews!
