It’s time to rethink lasagna and serve it for dessert. This no-bake chocolate peanut butter cup lasagna is made of layers of chocolate graham cracker and peanut butter cup filling.

Get your stretchy-fat pants on because just looking at this dessert may cause weight gain – we are having lasagna for dessert!
It’s a chocolate peanut butter cup lasagna using chocolate graham crackers for the lasagna “noodles”, cream cheese-peanut butter-whipped cream filling for the “ricotta”, peanuts and peanut butter cups as the “meat”, and chocolate as the “sauce”. But I may need to try using Nutter Butter Cookies as the “noodles” because nutter butter lasagna sounds delicious.
I did use reduced fat cream cheese and light cool whip to make myself feel slightly better when the inevitable face plant into a second serving occurred.
This incredible, decadent, no-bake chocolate peanut butter cup lasagna is worthy of today’s event – Ohio State playing Clemson in the Orange bowl!
Admittedly I am still a bit bitter about losing to Michigan State and therefore losing the shot at the National Championship Game. But that will never stop me from getting excited to watch some college football and indulging in the gloriousness that is this dessert.
UPDATE: That was until we proceeded to lose to Clemson as well… good thing I have an emotional support dessert on hand!
