Here are some optional additions you might consider: - Chopped peanuts, which can be used as a topping or incorporated with the peanut butter filling. - Drizzled with more melted chocolate for an extra decorative touch.
**Add some texture and sweetness with little marshmallows**
For an added crunch in the layers, use crushed graham crackers. To compliment the peanut butter taste, add cinnamon or other spices.

**Successful Techniques** 1. **Layering:** Press the graham cracker layers together snugly but not too firmly. This keeps the cake from being overly thick while yet preserving its structure.
Don't hurry the cooling process; it needs time. 2. For best results, chill the cake for at least four hours, preferably overnight, so the layers can firm and combine.
3. **Crunchy Peanut Butter Texture:** Use crunchy peanut butter for a delightful filling texture. Creamy peanut butter is the way to go if you want something more velvety.
4. **Smooth Glaze:** To make a glaze that's free of lumps, melt the butter and chocolate chips over low heat. Mix well by stirring often until smooth.
5. **Serving:** For easy slicing, let the cake rest at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before to serving.

Instructions: ####
1. Get the Pudding Layer Ready: The vanilla pudding mix and two cups of milk should be whisked together in a large bowl. Once the mixture starts to thicken, stir in the whipped topping until it's completely smooth. Remove from the heat.
2. The Layer of Peanut Butter: While the cream cheese and peanut butter are softening, whisk them together in a another bowl. Beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla essence until smooth and creamy.
3. **Put the Cake Together:** Spread graham crackers in a single layer in a 9×13-inch baking dish. On top of the graham crackers, spread half of the peanut butter mixture. Next, add a half-layer of pudding mixture. Lay out the remaining ingredients in the following order: graham crackers, peanut butter, and pudding mixture.
The fourth step is to make the chocolate glaze. While swirling continuously, melt the milk, butter, and chocolate chips in a small saucepan over low heat. After taking the pan from the stove, whisk in the vanilla essence.
5. Apply Glaze on Top: Distribute the chocolate glaze evenly over the cake's top layer. To make sure it's all over the surface, spread it out with a spatula.
6. **Refrigerate:** Put the cake in the fridge for at least four hours, or better still, the whole night, so the layers can solidify and the flavors can combine.
7. **Chop:** Before serving, refrigerate the cake and cut it into squares. Savor the delectable, peanut buttery treat!
