No Bake Layered Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie

Last night I was attacked by a wicked and relentless sweet tooth.  So, I scrolled through my Pinterest Dessert Board and found this devilishly yummy treat.  

Right after I had found this wonderful recipe, Jake called to tell me he was on his way home. What perfect timing, right?! 

I whipped up all of the ingredients, let it chill, ate dinner, and then sat down and enjoyed every single bite of this delectable treat. Since it is no bake and chilled, it is perfect for any hot summer night (or day).  I encourage all of you to try this recipe out!!
