Chocolate and peanut butter make one of the all-time classic combinations. If you love Reese’s peanut butter cups, you’re going to flip over this. The frosting, made with creamy peanut butter and whipped topping, is peanut butter perfection. And it’s topped with mini Reese’s cups.

Chocolate and peanut butter are the best of both worlds. (Southern Bite)
