Share this post

Chocolate Peanut Butter Stacks is one of the most popular post (coincidentally, my very first) here at Baked Bree. I am so happy to be able to share with you this yummy recipe, that perfectly mixes chocolate, peanut butter and caramel together.

This post is to celebrate the one year anniversary of BakedBree. The first recipe I ever published on BakbedBree was my delightful peanut butter pie. I was originally playing around on my laptop and found that I had put some pictures from the previous week on there and they were of my peanut butter pie. On a whim, I decided to start a food blog. It was as simple as that. A few hours later, I had a domain name, WordPress up and running, and my Peanut Butter Pie post was published. And that is how Baked Bree was born.

This is the sweet baby that helped inspire Baked Bree. Is she not gorgeous?

If I had only known on that February evening how this little blog would change my life, I would not have believed you. I never in a million years thought that anyone would read it. I thought maybe my mom and perhaps a handful of friends. But I never imagined that it would afford me so many new friends and opportunities. I cannot even begin to tell you how grateful I am for you. Thank you for reading and leaving me comments and sending me emails. I love it. Every single one.

Step 5:

Slice the cookies and bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the cookies in a preheated 350-degree oven for about 12 minutes. Cool on a rack.

Step 6:

I put the peanut butter pie filling in a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. I put a teeny bit of filling on the plate so that it acts like glue and the cookies will not move around on the plate. Place a cookie on top and pipe some filling. Do this again. You should have 2 layers of filling and 3 cookies.

Step 7:

Drizzle caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle with peanuts.

How to Store the Chocolate Peanut Butter Stack

I think it is better to eat the stack quickly after you have made it as the peanut butter filling will start to become watery. But you can prepare the chocolate cookie ahead

"shack-wacky" haha Never heard that phrase before but I've suffered from it myself. =) Congratulations on your first blogaversary! It's a beautiful thing you have going here. I discovered the magic of PB + bananas in my oatmeal at Christmastime & I've been on a serious PB kick ever since. And you've just given me a perfect example of why it's nothing I need to get over soon.
