Grab Your Bottom & HOLD ON! Peanut Butter Texas Sheet Cake!

Your bottom will be as big as Texas when you're done eating a few pieces of this delectable sheet cake. But, if you're nice and share a lot of it with friends or take it to a picnic or potluck...you should be okay. (I made it last week for a funeral dinner, at the church and like a fool, decided to make one for our family. NOT A SMART DECISION!)

One or two pieces is okay, but please DO NOT allow yourself to be left alone in the house with this whole cake. I'm warning you, it's REALLY DANGEROUS. If you're due for a yearly physical, please do not make this cake until you've already had all your blood tests, otherwise, you'll be getting a call from the doctor's office to please report and pick up your cholesterol prescription!

Only having access to a COUPLE pieces of this deadly sin should be plenty. SO USE THIS RECIPE WITH CAUTION. Please. Thank You.

ON THE SUNNY SIDE .... anyone you share this with will love it and it will remind them of a less-rich form of peanut butter fudge. It goes very well with a cold glass of milk, or a nice hot cup of coffee or tea!

(*Of course, it's always helpful if you have a spare pound of butter or margarine and a large supply of peanut butter in the house before you start this recipe.)
