Chocolate Peanut Butter Crispy Cake Recipe

My husband’s all-time favorite treat is my Chocolate Peanut Butter Crispy Cubes. For his birthday last year, I thought it would be fun to surprise him with a whole cake made of crispy cubes! It was a hit with Dan, and several people on social reached out to find out how I did it..here’s how!
