Many of us would define lasagna as being a layered Italian dish that includes cheese, tomato sauce and perhaps even some hamburger or sausage. As you are about to find out, however, lasagna is much more than that simple definition. In fact, it is possible to make lasagna for dessert and when it is made in the right way, you will not believe how delicious it is. That is where this recipe comes in.
More than likely, you are a big fan of Reese’s peanut butter cups. After all, who wouldn’t enjoy the combination of chocolate and peanut butter that comes together in each and every one of those delicious morsels. Now it is possible to enjoy lasagna, not as the main course but as a dessert and when you add the Reese’s peanut butter cups as the main ingredients, you are not going to believe the delicious flavors. Make this one after dinner tonight and your family will gobble it up.
