I have a pretty good pan and have never had this problem before. i was set to make another batch of the meringue and the cake but then I tasted a bit of the cake and it tasted so good, as did the meringue, that I broke up the cake, put half in a pan, poured some ganache over, then crumbled the peanuty meringue, poured the melted chocolate/peanut butter/rice crispie stuff on top, and then a bit more of the ganache, more cake chunks, and the rest of the ganache. I covered it well and then threw it in the fridge. I think it will taste wonderful, look pretty bad, but go over well. I'll let you know!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04515942727867623434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-47689630069393576522008-03-10T14:52:00.000-04:002008-03-10T14:52:00.000-04:00Hi Leigh Ann - Thanks for the feedback!It does say...Hi Leigh Ann - Thanks for the feedback!<BR/><BR/>It does say where to place the peanuts - here is the passage.<BR/><BR/><I>Scoop the meringue onto the parchment paper and use an offset spatula to fill out the outline you traced on the paper. <B>Scatter the chopped peanuts on top.</B></I>Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12900263145684208002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-19982012086846220862008-03-10T14:40:00.000-04:002008-03-10T14:40:00.000-04:00Just made this yesterday - it's delicious!

The only other problem I had was that the cake was so moist and soft it fell apart, even when completely cool. Maybe I should have frozen it before I cut it. Anyway, everyone loved it.
