Notes:
SNAPPY TIPS: Use a deep 13×9-inch baking dish to make sure all layers fit. Be sure to let the dessert sit in the fridge for at least 4-6 hours to the layers can thicken and the Marie Biscuits can soften to a cake-like consistency.
SNAPPY SUBSTITUTIONS: Instead of mini chocolate chips, you could use regular chocolate chips and semi-sweet, bittersweet, or dark chocolate. You can substitute any kind of nut butter and/or nuts for the peanut butter and peanuts.
