    My peanut butter layer did not harden, not sure if it was supposed to. But it made it all squish out the sides when I was trying to break it apart. Made a mess, but tasted great!

    Do you think this would work with chocolate graham crackers or chocolate icebox cookies as a base? Just curious

    1. Jill says:

      Hi Judy. That sounds great and should work fine!
