Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter, slightly warm

- To assemble:
- Place a single layer of wafer cookies at the bottom of a parchment lined pan; if necessary, break cookies to fill the gaps.
- Next, spread an even layer of the whipped cream over the cookies, then top with more cookies.
- Repeat as necessary for desired number of layers.
- Cover the top with plastic and chill, overnight, in the fridge.
- When ready, remove the cake from the fridge, drizzle with hot fudge sauce and sprinkle with chopped peanut butter cups, and serve.
