PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE CAKE
This is NOT for the diet-conscious! It is sinfully rich and absolutely
delicious!!! I have made it many times and always receive rave reviews
- everyone asks me to make it! It is a bit labor-intensive, but OH!!!
so worth the effort! My hubby does NOT like rich desserts or chocolate
..... he always asks for a second helping of this one!!! Nutritional
