Chocolate Peanut Butter Torte

I know this post is a little  over two months late. Things have been pretty hectic in my life lately and I haven't been giving the blog much attention at all. I am sorry for that.


This torte was made in honor of my father for Father's Day this year. Anyone who know him knows that he has an unhealthy obsession with peanut butter. I mean, I LOVE peanut butter but he takes it to a whole new level. Growing up I was always amazed at how he could eat the giant mountain of peanut butter he would slather on one slice of bread and lightly top it off with a little jelly. Actually, I am still pretty amazed by that since I'm pretty sure if I tried to eat something like that my mouth would be sealed shut.
Anyways, back to the torte. TO DIE FOR. Chocolate and peanut butter are a match made in heaven to begin with but take the peanut butter and transform it into a creamy mousse and top it off with smooth, silky chocolate ganache.... I'm drooling just thinking about it. And best of all - Daddy loved it!
