Teddy Graham Crust

Yesterday, I decided to use up my whipping cream and make Rachel's S'more pie for our book club. I had a store bought crust that I managed to dump in the sink which left me in a bind because I already had my pie ingredients on the stove and no car, a blizzard outside and no graham crackers. After scouring my pantry, I finally found a bag of honey flavored teddy grahams that proved to be a really yummy substitute for regular graham crackers. Here's what I came up with:

1 1/2 cups finely crushed Teddy Grahams
6 T. melted butter
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar.

Mix them all together, press into your pan and bake at 375 for about 7 minutes.
The crust tastes more like a cookie and was the perfect complement to the S'more pie.

The Ultimate Chocolate Layered Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Birthday Cake

1 box Pillsbury Devils Food Cake Mix
4 large eggs
1/2 Cup canola oil
1/2 Cup water
8 oz sour cream
1 small box instant chocolate pudding mix
1 bag mini or regular chocolate chips
_____________________
4 8oz packages softened cream cheese
2 sticks softened butter
16 oz bag powdered sugar (most of it)
_____________________
1 Cup melted creamy peanut butter
1 bag of Reeses Peanut Butter Cup minis, halved (freeze bag for an hour before cutting, it’s much easier)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a stand or electric mixer add the cake mix, eggs, oil, water, sour cream, pudding mix and chocolate chips. Beat until well combined, about 1 1/2 minutes. Will be thick. Pour evenly into 2 well greased 9 inch cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean from center of cakes. Let cool completely.
2. To prepare cream cheese frosting place softened cream cheese and butter into a mixing bowl, beat on med-high speed until creamy smooth. Slowly beat in powdered sugar until a good spreading consistency forms. I used almost the entire bag of powdered sugar. Refrigerate for a good hour before frosting.
3. Turn cakes onto wax paper and with a large serrated knife cut each cake in half width wise to form 4 layers. Place one layer onto a cake stand and drizzle melted peanut butter over top. Next spread a generous amount of cream cheese frosting over that. Place another cake layer on top and repeat peanut butter and frosting until top layer is placed. Spread remaining frosting over entire cake then top with halved Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Minis. I froze the cake until ready for serving. It stays nice and cold which makes it MUCH easier to cut into slices. Enjoy!!
