March 25th is Chocolate Peanut Butter Day! I’ve been a fan of this combo for a long time.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Tandy Cake takes me back to when I was a kid with 35 cents burning a hole in my pocket. A local company used to sell their version 3 in a pack, 3 packs for a dollar.
So that 35 cents would buy me a pack of tender, moist yellow cake slathered in peanut butter and dipped in chocolate.
As I grew older, the cakes seemed to get smaller. Those bites of deliciousness cost more too.
So I started looking for recipes that came close. Unfortunately each component varied ever so slightly. So I used a good yellow cake recipe. Then I spread naturally moist peanut butter over the top.
Oh and ganache. You have to have ganache.
