Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake


Once I find a recipe that I want to try I look for any reason to make it!  So when my bosses 25th Anniversary with the company came up I knew that I needed to make this Coffee Cake!  It was a must!  It was a wonderfully moist coffee cake, but I wish that the peanut butter flavor had come out just a little more.  Everyone in the office LOVED it and I had no complaints from them!  I will try this again - I think I want to try a Nutella version!
