Alternating layers of chewy brownie and rich peanut butter, covered with dark chocolate ganache! I usually stuff myself on savory pizza pies and have no room for dessert pies. On this trip, I boxed up some pizza for a cold pizza breakfast the next morning so I could further indulge in this delight!
