Chocolate-Peanut Butter Triffle

If you love desserts, and chocolate, and peanut butter, then you MUST try this!  It’s from Betty Crocker’s App for i-Pad (which by the way has so amazing recipes in there and a must to download).  I’ve been wanting to make this for a while and finally got the excuse to make it when supper club needed someone to make a dessert.  One thing I did different from the recipe is make separate chocolate and peanut butter cookies, they call for the mix with both in there, but I couldn’t find it, plus it didn’t seem to effect the taste.  Seriously, I cannot wait to make this again, yum!
