Like a chocolate-covered peanut butter
cup, this yummy cake blends two favorite flavors in one treat.
Chocolate curls are a simple way to decorate.

draw a vegetable peeler across a bar of NESTLÉ® TOLL

Cook's Tip: Soft chocolate
doesn't shave very well, so refrigerate your chocolate bar before
making the curls.
