It’s been reeeeally hot outside lately, so I decided to try out a cool looking recipe that I’ve had lingering around for a while (since 2005 to be exact…man, I can’t believe it’s been that long).
Here’s the recipe:
Chocolate & Peanut Butter Ribbon Dessert
It was perfect after a long, hot day… cool & creamy and easy to eat.
Next time, I’ll layer this in foil-lined individual ramekins
instead of one 9 X 5 pan though. That way I can just pop one out of the freezer as needed. The loaf pan size is pretty, but I should have served it at a dinner party or something, because I still have half of it in the freezer. I think cute layered cups of cool desert would be more fun to eat.
The recipe is from Kraft’s Food & Family magazine. You should check it out. The subscription is FREE and includes 5 issues each year. One for each season, plus a holiday issue. I love getting this in the mail. Lots of quick and easy meal ideas and great photos, too.

I couldn’t find the recipe. Could someone please send it to me?? Thank you
I can’t find the recipe. Please send it to me also. My family would love this. Peanutbutter is their favorite!
Please send me the recipe. I cant find it also.
Please send me the recipe i cant find it anywhereeeeee!! thanks!!
FYI – The Kraft Food and Family Magazine is no longer free.
I use that peanut butter as a filling for chocolate cake and topping for cupcakes too! Its sinfully good!
Made this a few weeks ago…SOOO good! I want to make it again! The layer of chocolate in the middle is just perfect! Who doesn’t like cool whip, peanut butter, and chocolate!!!
Just saw this and it looks divine. Thank you for sharing.
just saw this on your blog last week, and decided to make it for my family’s mother’s day celebration! it was a huge hit!!
MMMM! that looks so professional you are a really good photographer.
Food and Family is no longer free. I love that magazine I may just have to get a subscription!
I tried to get this recipe following your link to Kraft food and family but I get an error message when I tiry to print it. Also, the magazine is no longer free. Your have to get a paid subscription now.
You are just so great to think of people outside the US and Canada…Greetings from Budapest :-)
This blog is like a dream come true! i love cool whip so much! i just squirt it into a 2 liter bottle and chug it all day long. it is such a nice pick me up, when i am having a bad day (you know the drill, suffering from indigestion, and wanting to beat the guy in the cubicle next to you with a bat)! But i don’t, cool whip really helps me keep my cool (no pun intended)!
Yay! That’s awesome and I’m sure the muffin pans looked just as cute!
Just made these today (I don’t have enough ramekins, so I did it in a muffin pan) and they turned out great! My husband was rolling his eyes with each bite – this recipe is a keeper! Thanks!!!
Krissy – true.
Anonymous – you certainly could, but I don’t think they pb flavor is too overwhelming.
Suzanne – you’re welcome.
That looks divine! Thanks for all your great recipes!
i love the chocolate/pb combo, but is this mostly for people who love peanut butter? was wondering if i (a chocolate lover) should put another layer of chocolate in there, or just use more chocolate so there’s more balance between the pb/chocolate flavors.

for those who don’t have access to cool whip (or don’t want to use it because it’s made of nothing but chemicals – ick!), use the real stuff – ACTUAL whipped cream. it will taste even better without the plasticky stuff!
Stephanie – Don’t be embarassed. We’re all friends here and who hasn’t eaten a whole dessert before. I know I have.
Oh my goodness, I have to bow down, I made this yesterday for our Sunday dinner with my father-in-law and it was DELICIOUS! I am so embarrassed, but between last night and today, I finished it off! It was awesome and a recipe I will definitely keep and do again. I made it with Safeway brand cool-whip and didn’t have enough to do the dollop on top but I didn’t miss it a bit.
cheryl – glad it was good
ashleyd – it rocks!
elizabeth – make some for me, too!
This is my favorite recipe for taking to bbqs at friends’ houses. It is SO easy and always a big hit. Now, I think I will have to make it again just for the family tonight. Thanks!
the kraft foods mag is hands down the best cooking mag out there!
I made this over the weekend, and my boyfriend LOVED it.
IU – thansk
E for KC – better, I think.
Team Simmons – sounds good.
heidi – for sure.
Cathy C – i feel for you. triple digits is tough.
Mindy Sauther – thanks
I love this magazine! I look forward to getting it every time it comes and probably look at it over and over for a week. What a tasty treat you made. Sounds like a good idea making it in individual ramekins.
What a great anytime treat – Cool whip really adds so much to any recipe. Love these especially when it is triple digits outside.
Cheers
Cathy

I love this magazine! i started getting it by accident when we moved and now I’m hooked! there are some seriously delicious recipes!!!
Thanks for the help. I will let you know how they turn out!
This is such a pretty dessert! I’m sure it tastes as good as it looks!
Oh My Goodness! You are talented! I love your site! :)
Bree – you are welcome
Isa – Just thought people would love these recipe ideas
the southern hostess – it was.
puglyfeet – missed ya. Glad you like the site. It needed a facelift.
Pippi – thanks for the heads up. I added a mention on the post.
Mommy Mary – I feel for you.
Larry & Erica Evans – or you can just treat yourself.
Sandy – At least they're still sending the free mags.
Amber – I know, it's just so easy to eat.
Team Simmons – The easiest thing would be light pink candy melts and white candy melts. Pink on bottom. White on top. And pink m&ms for the toppers. Also white non-pareils to sprinkle. I am hoping to do some soon.
Bakerella, That looks delicious! Silly question, I am hosting a baby shower and I thought cupcake pops might be cute. She is having a girl. What would you reccomend doing to make them cute? Thanks.
I have been making this for a couple years now and every time I make it it’s gone in minutes! It’s one of go-to-recpies!
I LOVE the Kraft Food magazines and have been getting them for the past few years! I save all of them! They are wonderful!
I loved when they sent the calendars as well, but they no longer do. They felt that they wanted to put more into the magazines and got rid of the calendars… sad day!
YUMMMMMMY….Three of my fav. things….Cool whip (I don’t know why some people don’t like it!!! Crazy I guess), Peanut Butter, and of course CHOCOLATE!!! This si a must! I guess I will just have to have a party to make this for!
That looks so good, deff not dairy free though.. so not in this house *tear*
I checked and nobody has mentioned this yet..but if i missed it I’m sorry for duplicating.
This magazine also comes to canadians in the form of “What’s Cooking” It’s the exact same magazine..just Canadian content…same recipes. kraftfoods.ca I think is the website?
I get tingles when it comes!
Wow. I haven’t been by in a while. I love your blog’s new look, Bakerella!
Mmm…looks so yummy. Perfect for a summery treat.
That’s so sweet of you to provide the links for both people inside the US and outside it! Thanks and that’s one amazing looking dessert!
I love cool whip! Thanks so much for sharing and great pictures :)
Bobbie – I can't believe that. No Cool Whip? that's crazy!
RedEnZed – no pb cookies either? You guys are deprived.
ladybug – Hope the ramekins work for you.
Glenda – yeah, me too.
Jenn – exactly!
Stella – thanks!
Sara – Glad I could help.

My Sweet & Saucy – I looove pb, don't you?!

Nicole – Me too. Then I wouldn't eat it all myself.
Ann – You can come over too.
Sharon – You'll really enjoy the books.
Katrina – Nutter Butters rule!

Oooh, that looks nice and refreshing. I could, you know, maybe help finish it off. Ya know, help clear out some space in your freezer?
That looks SO good! Don’t tell the real bakers/chefs, but I love Cool Whip more than fresh whipped cream and it’s so much more convenient. I get the Kraft Foods magazine and also love it. Don’t remember that recipe from a few years ago, but probably got it then. Thanks for passing it on. Love the Nutter Butter crust.
Thanks for the tip about the Kraft recipe books. I definitely want to sign up after seeing your creation!
I want to be your neighbor too! I’m a terrific “taste tester!” Great recommendation for the Kraft mag…I’ve gotten so many good recipes that I use over and over. Keep up the inspiring work!
I wish you lived closer, so I could be the neighbor that sampled everything you made!! Love your blog.
This looks great. My two favorites – peanut butter and chocolate!
What a perfect dessert! So glad it had peanut butter in it!
i wanna try this recipe… but is there anyway to use chocolate instead of peanut butter? i’m really not a big fun of peanut butter. thanks!
Ooh, yum! That looks so good right now! I love the kraft mags. as well! Great site too! Thanks for posting!
That looks so delicious and perfectly refreshing on a hot and humid day!
The food always looks so great. Have you told us what Camera you use?
I love that magazine and have been getting it for years. As someone else mentioned I’ve saved each one, chances are I’ve missed a recipe or two the first go round. Thanks for reminding me of this recipe.
Thx!
Ingrid
Ok, I’m having a hard time believing Cool Whip isn’t International! Wow! Is there anything similar?
This looks devine. I get the mag but I’ve never noticed that one. I’ll have to go back over them. lol
Wow! This dessert looks amazing! Thanks for sharing the recipe. I signed up for the magazine, too :)
how does it feel to make the “professionals” who create the dishes for the kraft website pictures look like amateurs? :)
This looks so delicious! thanks for the recipie.

my husband and kids will love this! this is a great treat to make in all this heat!
my goodness that looks awesome. I want that now and it’s only breakfast time!
I LOVE Kraft food & family! Almost all of my husband's favorite dishes that I make come from that magazine, which is great because they're all so quick & easy!
Oh my! You really know how to tempt me… ;-) Is this what they call “love at first sight?”
With the heat ago in Madrid do not know how well I would take a little Cool off with Cool Whip! “Just leaving the piece on the computer screen … want to extend his hand and take … . or eat the computer …. and magazines are great pity that here … we do not have that option of compra.Yo’m addicted to magazines … …. would bring greetings, xoxo.
I love the Kraft magazine…especially their desserts. I recently moved and needed to sign up for the magazine again. Thanks for the reminder. Your blog is wonderful. Thanks!

Oh my word that looks delicious!!
Wow that looks yummy and not diet friendly.
This looks really good, especially for a hot summer day. I get the Kraft emails and magazines. I just love them, the look so delicious and they are so simple. I want to make the Frozen Oreo dessert that was in the last one.
Love Cool Whip (especially since I can get it in so many varieties) and I love the free Kraft recipe books. I save every single one as well as the emails (in a special folder of course) and go back to them time and time again. I can’t wait to make this particular recipe and I’ll take your suggestion of making it in the individual ramekins instead.
Me too Bobbie. Jealous muchly. No cool whip in NZ or peanut butter cookies *loud sobs of envy*
we dont have cool whip in australia.. and let me say when i was on holiday in the US… I gained 3kgs …. from all the coolwhip I was consuming.. that stuff is sooo goood!!
oh and that cakes looks delish.. I am so jealous!!
