This cake was fun to make and it taste great. The cake is very sweet so I would steer clear if you don’t have a huge sweet tooth. I do have two helpful hints. If you can't find pre-made dulce de leche in can you can make it on stop of the stove. Simply boil a can of sweetened condensed milk for five hours. It might have a few lumps but simply beat it out with the mixer. If you want your cake to really look like the picture, make sure you hollow out the chocolate butter layer before putting on the peanut/dulce layer.

I made this for my daughter's birthday and everyone raved about how delicious and beautiful it was. Definitely a keeper.

Tasty or not, isn't the question, it is. I found this not as easy as everyone claims. In my case, the frosting for the center would not make 1". It was more like ½”. I'd double the amount of ingredients for that step. I recommend your dulce de leche be cool and not at room temperature. The problem was the weight of the peanuts pulled the sauce down; the boat where you set the edges of the frosting higher than the center - wasn't much of a barrier. Third thing: the chocolate that is poured over the top of the cake and spread along the sides -this didn't go over too bad, but there was not enough to truly give the cake the clean look of a candy bar that the photo promises. I'd double the supplies needed. Also take note that while pouring warm chocolate over the caramel sauce, you're introducing heat to the firmed cake, this causes the caramel to rise in temperature and then it is melting down the sides again. I will probably make this again, but only with the above changes.

Fun to make, but chocolate butter cream frosting used as the filling is sickeningly sweet. Thought about substituting chocolate ice cream, but just read another review saying chocolate coating would melt it. I might try it with homemade chocolate marshmallow. But that would increase the prep time at least 6 hours for marsh mellow to set up. Will make again with changes!

This recipe was AMAZING. So easy to do, but gave a really complex look. I could not find Dulce de Leche so I used Dipping Caramel instead and it worked out great.

One of the best parts is no Baking. Just mix and assemble.

My wife saw this recipe in Food Network Magazine "Chocolate Issue" several days before she was scheduled to go in for surgery and said "I want this when I come home!" I wrote down all the ingredients, went to the store and found everything (Check the Mexican Food section for the dulce de leche Have not worked with chocolate much but this "No Bake" recipe was very easy! (Except for the waves on top, more like swirls. It came out fantastic, raves all around. We served it with fresh sliced strawberries and it was a perfect compliment in both in color contrast and offsetting the intense sweetness of the cake. I was so impressed with myself! Thanks Food Network

I made this for my daughters Chocolate Factory birthday party, but I switched the frosting for chocolate ice cream. Pooring the warm chocolate over that made a horrid mess! The cake was so ugly, but still tasted good. It was good for a laugh. Next time I will let the ice cream set for a long long time!
