Day 4 - Chocolate Peanut Butter Ribbon

As I was searching for different recipes to try, I came across this one on the Kraft website.. I knew I needed to make it soon as you can't go wrong with Peanut Butter and Chocolate.. :D I loved how simple and light it looked.

Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup Oreo Baking Crumbs, divided
• 2 Tbsp. non-hydrogenated margarine, melted
• 1 pkg. (250 g) Philadelphia Brick Cream Cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup Kraft Peanut Butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tsp. vanilla
• 1-1/2 cups thawed Cool Whip Whipped Topping
• 2 squares Baker's Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted, cooled

BEAT cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar and vanilla with mixer until well blended.
MIX crumbs and margarine. Reserve 1 Tbsp. crumbs for topping; press remaining onto bottom of foil-lined 9x5-inch loaf pan.
whisk in Cool Whip


Remove 1/2 cup; place in small bowl. Stir in melted chocolate until well blended; set aside.
Spoon half the remaining cream cheese mixture over crust


Add chocolate filling.

Add remaining cream cheese mixture.

Now you can leave it like this and freeze it right away or you can add a design on it to make it look a little nicer.. I decided to add one to mine.



FREEZE 4 hours or until firm. Invert dessert onto plate. Remove foil; invert dessert, crumb-side down, onto serving platter. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.



Cut in small strips and serve. You do not need a big piece.


Verdict: I originally thought this was going to be a light dessert. It is light but very rich. I would definitely make this again and serve it to guests... or keep it for myself. It was super easy to make and full of yummy peanut butter and chocolate flavour. I can already think of many different ways to decorate this and/or serve it. Dh and his friend said it was a definite hit. :)
