However, there’s something extra-special about a sweet treat infused with the rich, nutty flavor of peanut butter. BHG readers agree; they can’t get enough of these 10 decade peanut butter desserts.

This is one of our all-time favorite dump cakes.

To top it off, drizzle slices with fudge sauce and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

These doughy, soft cookies are a timeless lunchbox addition. Of course, we also like them as an afternoon pick-me-up or an after-dinner sweet. Peanut butter creates the rich, nutty flavor you’re looking for. For a crunchier take, follow our instructions to “bake” them in an air fryer.

Delights, which are light and airy retro desserts made with layers of buttery crust, creamy pudding, and fluffy cream, are always popular among BHG readers.
