Chocolatechipandpeanutbutterbars Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• In large bowl, combine all base and topping ingredients; mix at low speed until crumbly. Reserve 2 cups of crumb mixture for topping. Press remaining crumb mixture in bottom of sprayed pan to form base.
• In small bowl, combine condensed milk, peanut butter and vanilla; mix until well blended. Pour mixture evenly over base. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and peanuts. Sprinkle reserved crumb mixture over top; press down gently.
• Bake at 350°F. for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Center will not be set. Cool 1 hour 15 minutes or until completely cooled. Cut into bars.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt butter over low heat.
• Pour butter into 13 x 9 inch pan. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over butter.
• Pour condensed milk over crumbs. Sprinkle chocolate and peanut butter chips over milk mixture and press down firmly.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13by-9-inch baking pan with foil, letting the excess hang over the edges of the pan by about 1 inch (this will help you lift the bar easily from the pan in one piece). Spray the pan with cooking spray.
• Mix the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugars until combined. Use a whisk or a rubber spatula to mix in the egg, egg yolk, peanut butter and vanilla until smooth. Fold in the flour mixture until just combined (be careful not to over mix the dough or the bars will be tough). Fold in the chocolate chips and the peanuts.
• Scrape the dough into the prepared pan, pressing and smoothing the top with a rubber spatula. Bake until the top is slightly golden and firm to the touch and the edges are starting to pull away from the sides of the pan, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
• Lift up on the foil overhang to remove the bar from the pan, and transfer it to a cutting board. Use a ruler to cut it into 2-inch squares.

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Stir together the melted butter, puffed cereal, chocolate wafers and granulated sugar in a bowl. Press the mixture into a springform pan. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool.
• For the chocolate ganache: Heat the cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Slowly stir in chocolate until melted and blended.
• For the peanut butter filling: Beat together the crema, peanut butter, powdered sugar, cream cheese, mascarpone and vanilla in a stand mixer.
• For the whipped topping: Whip the cream, half-and-half and vanilla until peaks form.
• To assemble the pie: Layer the cooled crust with chocolate ganache and freeze.
• Add the peanut butter filling; freeze again.
• Add the whipped topping; freeze a third time.
• Remove the springform ring and serve.

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. Beat in the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar with in a second large bowl with a handheld electric mixer on medium-high speed, 1 minute. Beat in the peanut butter and vanilla until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition, until the mixture thickens slightly. Reduce the speed to medium, add the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Cover and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, position racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line three rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
• Scoop heaping 2-tablespoon balls of dough and arrange the balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden but still soft in the center, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• Prepare the chocolate cups: I cut squares of sponge that measured about 1 1/2-inches square. Wrap each square with plastic wrap. Dip each square into the tempered chocolate. Make sure the chocolate covers at least 1/2-inch up the side of the sponge mold. Set the chocolate square on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Repeat to make as many chocolate cups as you would like. Wait until the chocolate sets. If necessary, place the chocolate squares in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes.
• When the chocolate has set, gently squeeze the sponge and lift up to remove it from the chocolate. Do not press or pull too hard or you will break the chocolate.
• Prepare the filling: Place a 1-quart saucepan half filled with water over high heat and bring to a simmer. Make a double boiler by setting a medium-size mixing bowl over the simmering water. Place the chopped chocolate in the mixing bowl and heat until completely melted. Stir occasionally and keep an eye on the chocolate as it melts so that it doesn't burn. Once melted, remove the mixing bowl from the heat. Stir the chocolate until smooth and set aside until cool to the touch but not so cold that it begins to harden and set.
• Place the peanut butter in a medium-size mixing bowl. Add the cooled chocolate and whisk together. This mixture will be stiff and begin to set quickly, so whisk vigorously and thoroughly to combine.
• Place the chocolate peanut butter in a pastry bag with a medium-sized opening (no tip). Fill each chocolate cup to about 1/8 inch from the top. Let the peanut butter cups set at room temperature for about 1 hour, then serve. If you are in a hurry, you can place the peanut butter cups in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. They can also be frozen for 2 weeks if well wrapped in plastic wrap. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
• Jacques' tip: To make a lighter dessert, add about 1 cup of crispy rice cereal (recommended: Rice Krispies). Sometimes I garnish this tiny treat with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh peanuts.

Steps:

• HEAT oven to 350 degrees F. Coat 9-inch pie plate with no-stick cooking spray. Combine muffin mix, butter and peanuts in large bowl. Blend with fork just until crumbly. Press evenly into bottom and up sides of prepared pie plate.
• BAKE 12 to 15 minutes or until light golden brown. If crust is slightly puffy, press down gently with back of a wooden spoon. Cool.
• BEAT peanut butter, cream cheese and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer at medium high speed until smooth. Beat in milk. Gently fold in whipped topping. Spoon into cooled crust. Drizzle warm fudge topping over pie. Chill 3 to 4 hours or until serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spread oats onto an un-greased cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes, stirring a couple of times.
• Mix oil, honey and vanilla in a large bowl.
• Add cooled oats, chocolate chips and nuts (if using) and mix well. (Note: If the oats are still warm at all, the chocolate chips will melt.).
• Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper and mist with oil.
• Spread the mixture evenly onto the parchment.
• Lay a sheet of waxed paper over the mixture and press to compact. (I use the palms of my hands to start, and then I use the bottom of a drinking glass to make the surface as smooth as possible.).
• Remove the waxed paper and use a rubber spatula to press in any of the oats that may have "straggled" up the sides of the dish.
• Bake for 20 minutes.
• Cool completely and lift parchment from the dish.
• Cut into 16 bars.

Steps:

• Sift the confectioners sugar into a mixing bowl. Add melted buter and peanut butter.
• Mix on medium speed of electric mixer until well mixed.
• Add graham cracker crumbs to the peanut butter mixture. Use your hands to squish it together until the crumbs are well mixed.
• Dump the mixture into the pan. Use your hands to spread it around. Press very hard to make it one big flat piece.
• Melt chocolate chips in saucepan over very low heat. Stir until creamy and completely melted.
• Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer. Use the spoon to spread it evenly like frosting.
• Wait until the chocolate hardens (putting it in the refrigerator makes it faster) and cut it into tiny squares.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixer bowl, beat the peanut butter and butter until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the sugar, eggs and vanilla, and beat until creamy. Blend in the flour and salt. Stir in 1 cup of the chocolate chips and spread into an ungreased 13x9 inch baking pan. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until edges begin to brown.
• Immediately sprinkle the remaining morsels over the cookie layer. Either let sit 5 minutes, or put back in the oven for 1 minute, until the morsels become shiny and soft. Spread the rest of the chocolate chips evenly over the top. Cool completely and serve. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat over to 350°F Grease 9-inch square baking pan.
• Combine all ingredients. Stir until well blended. Press mixture into pan.
• Bake for 30 minutes until set. Let cool before cutting into pieces.

Steps:

• Set oven to 350°F.
• Grease a 15 x 10-inch baking sheet (can use a 13 x 9-inch pan also).
• In a large bowl, combine the oats, graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, baking soda and peanuts; mix well until combined.
• In another bowl, combine corn syrup with melted butter and vanilla; mix well and add to the oat mixture; mix to combine.
• Press into prepared baking sheet/pan.
• Bake for 15 minutes (don't over bake!).
• Melt the chocolate chips with peanut butter in the microwave or double boiler until smooth.
• Spread on warm bars.
• Refrigerate to slightly set the chocolate (this makes for easier and more even slicing).
• Remove from fridge and slice into small bars.

Steps:

• Beat ingredients in a small bowl until mixed and smooth.
• Will keep for up to two weeks--if it lasts that long.
