I just posted a few on my new blog! Peanut Butter brownies, and my favorite Peanut Butter Pie: Peanut Butter Brownies: The Sweetest Accident RE: LOOKING for: peanut butter desserts Posted by: gazania (My Page) on Sun, Dec 23, 07 at 14:06 Peanut Butter Meltaways 2 12 oz bags Nestles White Chocolate Morsels 1 18 oz jar peanut butter 1 12 oz bag Nestles Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels In large bowl, melt white morsels in microwave on high power for about 3 minutes, stirring every 40 seconds. When smooth, stir in peanut butter till completely smooth and blended. Pour into well buttered 9 x 13 pan. Melt Semi-Sweet morsels in microwave till smooth. Pour over peanut butter mixture in pan and marble in well with a spatula. Don't completely blend, but just leave a little 2 color swirl for looks. Chill for about an hour. It is easier to cut and remove from the pan if not too cold. This could also be dropped by the spoonfull into little paper candy cups while warm.

RE: LOOKING for: peanut butter desserts Posted by: joybugaloo (My Page) on Sat, Jan 5, 08 at 2:05 This dessert is a bit involved, but totally TO DIE FOR if you love chocolate and peanut butter. I have made this twice for my addicted roommate! It's very elegant and VERY impressive. Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Torte 3 cups sugar 2 2/3 cup all purpose flour 1 cup plus 1 tbs. unsweetened cocoa powder 2 tsp. baking soda ¾ tsp. baking powder ¼ tsp. salt 1 tbs. espresso powder dissolved in 1 ¼ cups of warm water ¾ cup vegetable oil 1 ½ cups buttermilk 3 large eggs (room temperature) 2 tsp. vanilla extract Peanut Butter Mousse 10 oz. milk chocolate (you can also use semi-sweet) ½ cup creamy peanut butter ¾ cup milk 1 cup heavy cream Chocolate Glaze 8 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine 1 cup heavy cream 1 tbs. corn syrup Preheat oven to 375º. Lightly grease and flour a nine inch spring form pan. Sift together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, add the dry ingredients and mix slowly until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together espresso, oil, eggs, buttermilk and vanilla. Slowly add all of the espresso mixture to the dry ingredients. Increase speed to medium and beat until mixture is smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape with a rubber spatula into prepared pan. Bake approximately 35-40 minutes or until cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool in pan 20 minutes, then invert on wire rack to cool completely. Peanut Butter Mousse Melt chocolate over double boiler. When completely melted, add peanut butter. Whisk until smooth. In a separate pan bring milk to a gentle boil, remove from heat. Add half the milk to chocolate/peanut butter mixture. Mix well and repeat with remaining milk, again mixing well. In a separate bowl, beat heavy cream until soft peaks form. With a rubber spatula, slowly fold the whipped heavy cream into the chocolate peanut butter mixture, mixing only until combined. Chocolate Glaze Combine heavy cream and corn syrup. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add the finely chopped chocolate, stirring until smooth. Chill slightly to firm. With a serrated knife, slice cake into three even layers. Smoothly spread ½ of the Peanut Butter Mousse mixture on the bottom layer. Top with middle cake layer. Repeat using remaining Peanut Butter Mousse mixture, capping with top cake layer.

Barb, this is the recipe I use. It doubles easily and I make a huge half sheet pan full in less than half an hour. No beating until it's stiff, my carpal tunnel won't let me do that, so I make this. Everyone loves the stuff and I can use different types of chips so I can make half chocolate and half peanut butter if I use peanut butter chips, or chocolate mint or use vanilla chips and maple flavoring, or whatever suits me. If I double the recipe, I do have to cook longer, maybe 9 or 10 minutes. Fantasy Fudge Ingredients: 3 cups white sugar 3/4 cup butter 2/3 cup evaporated milk 1 (12 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips 1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme 1 cup chopped walnuts 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1. Grease a 9x13-inch pan. 2. Mix sugar, margarine, and evaporated milk in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Bring mixture to a full boil for 5 -7 minutes, stirring constantly, you should reach soft ball stage. 3. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until melted and thoroughly combined. Beat in marshmallow creme, walnuts, and vanilla extract. Transfer fudge to the prepared pan and let cool before cutting into squares. Merry Christmas. Annie

I got a bonus a couple of (actually, about four) years ago. I usually write a cheque once year for a local, somewhat family-related church, that I don't attend. When I visited the treasurer, several years ago, they had received a package of store-brand chocolates similar to Turtles for Christmas with salt on the outside. The lady didn't like them with the salt on them and gave them to me. Later, at a lunch following a funeral in that church, I told her and her husband that I'd enjoyed the chocolates, but wasn't enthusiastic about the salt, either ... but simply rubbed it off with my hand. I owe those folks one - got a box of biscuits later ... but didn't get it delivered till it was too old. Naughty ... lazy ... procrastinator! ole joyfuelled ... with a bit o' help from chocolate, on occasion
