Peanut Butter Lover’s Icebox Cake
Peanut butter fanatics are going to go wild for this one. It has a triple helping of peanut butter provided by the sandwich cookies, peanut butter cups, and creamy peanut butter itself. I drizzle chocolate and caramel sauces on top, but if you want to amp up the peanut butter flavor, even more, feel free to add peanut butter chips!
