Chocolate & Peanut Butter Heaven
My family loves this recipe. I have used a brownie mix when in a hurry. I have added chopped peanuts to the top. It is worth the time to make.

very special
My son-in-law loves peanut butter and chocolate so I made the buckeye cake for him and shipped it from TN to Wisconsin. I've gotten nothing but raves from the whole family! It looked so good and I didn't even get to taste it so...I'll make another one and enjoy it as much they did! Thanks so much for a wonderful recipe.

Too Much Ganache
The cake layer and peanut butter layer are very good, but there is way too much ganache. It would have been a lot better with half, if not a third. Plus maybe it wouldn't have 8,000 calories in it if you took some of the cream out. It is so chocolaty that I am trying to give it away, and I like chocolate, so that means something. In general I think it is quite overrated.
