The recipe, which was published on Wine and Glue, has multiple layers of ganache, chocolate frosting, peanut butter filling and a crunchy, flavorful crust. Don’t be fooled by how complicated this recipe appears. The steps are actually quite straightforward and don’t require any special kitchen tools.
