Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Sheet Cake

I want to make nearly everything on easy.everyday.eats. When I saw the Cookie Sheet Cake, I was certain I had to make it straight away. And send the majority of it with C to work, or else I would have eaten the entire cake. When I started making this, C asked "What is that awful smell?" I told him I was heating up chocolate. And he replied that he hated the smell of chocolate. Add it to the list of smells he doesn't not like: bread baking, garlic sauteing and chocolate. He cannot be serious. This cake comes together so quickly. In the time it takes to mix it up, the oven preheats and you are set to bake it. In the time it takes to bake, you can make the frosting and clean up the dishes from the cake making. And then you have cake~ warm, gooey, chocolate peanut butter cake.
