If you’ve ever dreamed of the perfect chocolate and peanut butter dessert, this is it. Straight from Phillip Ashley Rix’s upcoming cookbook, For the Love of Chocolate: 80 At-Home Recipes from a Master Chocolatier’s Imagination (out September 9, 2025), these Chocolate Sandwich Cookies with Peanut Butter Mousse deliver everything you love about nostalgic Tagalongs—elevated with a rich, bakery-worthy finish.

The cookbook doesn’t hit shelves until September, but Pretty got an early peek—and we couldn’t resist sharing one of our favorite recipes with you. Since our last recipes were decidedly non-chocolate, consider this one your VIP pass to chocolate heaven.

Meet Phillip Ashley Rix

Based in Memphis, Tennessee, Rix has built a reputation for transforming chocolate into art. He has created luxury chocolates for the Oscars®, the GRAMMYS®, and even President Barack Obama. His “Perfect Turtle” earned a spot on Oprah’s Favorite Things in 2020, and he’s been twice nominated for the James Beard Awards—often described as the Oscars of the food world, honoring the most talented chefs and culinary innovators in America.

Add in his appearances on Food Network’s Chopped Sweets and his role as Official Chocolatier for Cadillac, and it’s safe to say he’s no stranger to culinary prestige.

Why You’ll Love These Chocolate Sandwich Cookies with Peanut Butter Mousse

• Black Velvet Cake with Tanghulu “Glass” Strawberries
