The Nutty Professor (1996)

The comedy "The Nutty Professor" is one of Eddie Murphy's funniest movies. Please check out the video below of the dinner scene with the Klumps. Amazingly, all of the characters are played by Eddie Murphy except Jada Pinkett Smith (Carla) and the kid, played by Jamal Mixon. Eddie is truly gifted in his character portrayals, each totally unique and will give you real belly laughs!




You have the powerhouse flavors of smooth premium chocolate and the salty sweet taste of peanut butter and peanuts. This super easy, super fast, no-bake recipe was inspired by "The Nutty Professor." Like our film, its packed with nuts at every turn. The Klumps were never "picky" eaters, but if they tasted our Smooth and Nutty Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, they'd be spoiled and never finish another whole cake or pie!
