This was very easy but I think the next time I would make the pudding first then add everything to it. When I make it next time I will not use bakers semi-sweet I think that milk chocolate would taste better on top. It really needs 8 hours so be sure to make a day before, it took mine almost 24 hours.

OMG, Kraft, you've done it again. A real winner. This is soooooooo good. Please try it, you won't be sorry. Your little ones will love this. I found this recipe in the recipe book I get from Kraftfoods. Again, this is really awesome.

Made this for dessert for Easter. My husband and son really liked it. It was not too difficult to make. I used fat free pudding, non fat milk, low fat Cool Whip and low fat graham crackers. Wanted to make it a little more low fat. I did not like the fact that the chocolate on top was so hard. It made it difficult to cut into. I have made a recipe similar to this in the past and it called for frosting. I may try using that next time, so that it it easier to cut into.

Peanut butter and chocolate--always a winner! This dessert isn't overwhelmingly sweet or heavy. It was a huge hit at our Easter gathering.

Tasted delicious, but had a hard time cutting. The chocolate top was too hard and difficult to cut through. After using enough pressure to cut through the chocolate topping, the rest of the dessert was squished. The next time that I make this, I'll probably opt for a can of ready made chocolate fudge icing.

Had a problem with the chocolate topping. what kind of chocolate did you use. I used unsweeted baking chocolate and tasted it before I poured it on. Itwas so bitter that I threw it away and just melted chocolate chips and butter. and used that,was to hard to cut through when it hardened. Took it to a funeral dinner and they thought it was good but was a mess to cut and serve. Would have crushed crackers the next time too.

VERY GOOD!! Takes a little time to make but definitely worth it!! My boys (and husband) loved it. You can't go wrong with this one - who wouldn't love it?! Great combination with the peanut butter and chocolate.

What a wonderful dessert. Made this for work...it was a hit! Not a fan of the hard chocolate topping...will make again using a chocolate frosting and peanut butter mix for the top.

My mother-n-law made this for Easter, she made it w/out the P.butter. It was a hit. I will make it, but I love p.butter so I will see if it is even better that way!
