LOOKING for: chocolate and peanut butter cookies, squares?

19 years ago

I will be leaving Thursday to visit twin grandsons. One of them wanted the oreo truffles. I will do that. The other one would like something that has peanut butter and chocolate. What recipe can you share that has chocolate and peanut butter? Cookies, squares, etc.
Thank you,
Barb

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.

Swirl with knife to mable-ize. Peppermint Fudge: Omit vanilla and walnuts. Stir in 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies.

What kind of peanut butter? I often buy peanuts at a reduced price after the holidays and make my own peanut butter in the food processor. I also use powdered peanut butter and reconstitute it with water and add a little coconut oil to smooth out the texture. (Powdered peanut butter is a home food storage staple.) When Dillons (our Kroger associated grocery store) sends me a coupon for a free jar of Kroger peanut butter, I'll use that. The price of an 18-oz. jar of it has more than doubled over the last few years, so it MUST be good...... If I'm feeling wild and crazy I'll make sunflower seed butter and use that for something different. I'm not one of those "picky" people who choose Jif - because it normally doesn't fit my food budget. We regularly use 18-oz. of peanut butter per month without using it for cookies. This is our newest favorite peanut butter cookie recipe.... PEANUT BUTTER CRUNCH COOKIES Heat or microwave to liquefy: 1 stick of butter 3/4 c. peanut butter Add remaining ingredients: 1 t. baking soda pinch of salt 2 eggs 1 c. unsalted dry roasted peanuts 1/2 c. raw or roasted sunflower seeds 1/2 c. almond flour (or wheat flour) 1/2 c. palm sugar (or brown sugar) 1/2 c. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips 1/2 c. cacao nibs (optional) Use an electric mixer to blend. Use a #50 portion scoop to portion cookies and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Press dough down slightly. Bake in a preheated 375-degree F. oven for 12-minutes. -Grainlady

If you want something a little different, you might like this recipe. I use to make this peanut butter and chocolate cookie tart all the time to take to the school bake sales when my son was young. The teachers would buy up the trays before they ever made it too the bake sale table. I'm not a peanut butter fan, so I've adapted the recipe over the years to make a shortbread cup for the chocolate filling. This is what the cookie looks like as the shortbread version. The peanut butter version looks the same except the cookie dough is a more golden brown. Home Cookin Chapter: Recipes From Thibeault's Table Peanut butter and chocolate cookie Tarts ======================================== Dough 3/4 cup butter 3/4 cup peanut butter smooth 3/4 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup white sugar 1 egg 1 egg yolk 2 tsp vanilla 2 1/4 cups flour 3/4 teaspoon baking soda Chocolate filling 4 oz semisweet chocolate 1 Tablespoon Milk 2 Tablespoons cocoa 1/3 cup butter 2 cups sifted Icing Sugar . Cream butter with peanut butter until very smooth. Beat in sugars. Beat in egg and yolk. Add vanilla. Sift flour with baking soda and mix well. Stir into butter mixture. Press balls of dough into well buttered mini muffin tins. Each ball of dough should be about 3/4's the size of the muffin tin - when you intent the centre it should form the shape of a pudgy little tart shell. Bake in preheated 350ÃÂ°F oven for 15 minutes or until outside is baked but inside is still chewy. Do not over bake. Cool five minutes on rack and then remove from tins. Cool completely. Filling Combine chocolate, cocoa, milk and butter in small saucepan. Melt over low heat. Mix until smooth. Cool. Beat in icing sugar to give consistency of icing. Pipe about 1 tablespoon of filling into each tart. Note: YOu can spoon the filling in to the centre, but it looks nicer when piped.

I love Ann T's peanut butter cookie tarts. Yum.

My girls really like this, it's fast and easy:

PEANUT BUTTER RICE KRISPIE SQUARES

1 c. sugar
1 c. corn syrup
1 c. peanut butter
5-6 c. Rice Krispies
1 bag chocolate chips or
1 cup each chocolate and butterscotch chips

Mix sugar and corn syrup in a large sauce pan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Stir peanut butter into mixture until melted. Add rice krispies and stir until well coated.

Press firmly into 9x13 inch pan. Melt chips and spread over bars, chocolate will set as bars cool.

Note: The less cereal you add the more "gooey" the bars will be. My girls like them really gooey.)

1 cup peanut butter (smooth)
1 pound (approx. 4 cups) confectioners sugar

Last Friday at work I had a really good chocolate and peanut butter bar cookie. Today I found out it is a mix - Eagle Brand Milk? I didn't know they had mixes, but it was really good. We were asking for the recipe, it was that good.
