      Thank you for stopping. I have never been this far behind on my blog in 6 years. I am just going to have to put things on autopilot until after New Year. I apologize in advance if your party, comments both ways, and anything else gets overlooked. I do appreciate your comments. But feel free to pass me by when you get busy. I sure will understand!! Happy Holiday.

      I can’t tell you how many years I struggled with peanut butter until I read that tip. I actually used a spatula just to avoid it! I am glad you liked the recipe. Have a happy weekend.

      This just happened to be a trifle I threw together for a party I forgot about. Everything was leftovers from the kitchen and it took no time at all other than to chill the pudding! Thanks Florence. Happy Holiday and Merry Christmas.

    Marilyn, this recipe has my name all over it. Chocolate and peanut butter is my favorite flavor combination. And one of my very favorite desserts is a trifle, I love the different textures in one dessert. This is so going on my list to make next! Now my stomach’s growling!
