I have made this 4 times since the first of December, my new favorite "go-to" recipe. Everyone loves it, and it is quick and easy. I made it before coming to work this AM for dinner guests tonight. I do cut the peanut butter back to just over 1/3 cup, and I spread a layer of the Cool Whip over the top, but not to the edges, and then put grated chocolate and some chocolate curls on that. It dresses it up, and I always get raves on it. Thanks for this wonderful recipe

Made this last week, very good. Reminded me of a cheesecake type of dish, even though I don't like cheesecake...But it was delicious, everyone loved it. I used chocolate chips as topping instead of nuts.

I was concerned after reading other reviews that it didn't "set up" properly, so I used extra creamy cool whip and made it the night before so I could put it in the freezer over night. I pulled it out about 2 hours before serving, and it looked just like the picture. I was very impressed and my guest said it was "heaven." =)

The picture is misleading to me. Sure, it tasted like PB, but this was more of a "scoop into a bowl" type of dessert unlike bars as the recipe states. Maybe it's just me, but I never seem to care much for the "no bake" type of desserts. I won't be making this again.

Very easy to make. Good but very rich. One small piece of this is more than enough.

This has got to be the best desert I've ever made!!! My husband demands it at least twice a month. I don't like peanut butter much, but this is very subtle, and I love it! Everyone should try this one!!!
