Crunchy Chocolate Peanut Stix Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the peanut butter in the microwave on high for 20 seconds to loosen it, then stir honey into it. Place the granola into a food processor and lightly process to crush up the granola, nuts, and raisins. Peel and cut each banana in half across the middle. Insert a popsicle or chop stick into the cut end of each half-banana. Spread 1 side of each banana stick with 1/4 of the peanut sauce then coat liberally with spoonfuls of granola, gently pressing it into the peanut butter. Eat the bananas right off the sticks, but serve on a plate to catch the crumbs.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil with a 1-inch overhang on all sides. Spray lightly with baking spray.
• Combine both flours, oats, wheat germ, chia seeds if using, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Combine the peanut butter, brown sugar, vegetable oil and egg white in another medium bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the dry ingredients and beat on low until a wet and sandy mixture that holds together when squeezed. Turn the dough out into the prepared pan and press into an even layer. Bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely. Drizzle with the chocolate. Let the chocolate harden and break into eighteen 2-inch even pieces.

Steps:

• *Line a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with nonstick foil, leaving a few extra inches on each end. *Line bottom with about 25 rectangular buttery crackers. *In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup milk, 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Bring to a simmer and gradully stir in 2 cups finely crushed honey graham crackers. Simmer, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes. *Pour one cup of the mixture over crackers and spread evenly. *Place another layer of crackers in pan and spread remaining cup of sugar mixture over crackers. *Top with another layer of the crackers *Place 1 1/4 cups milk chocolate chops and 1 cup peanut butter chips in a medium bowl over a small amount of simmering water in a medium saucepan over low heat. *Stir until smooth. *Spread evenly over top layer of crackers. *Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until set. *Carefully lift out and pan and place on a cutting board. *Cut into 1 x 4-inch bars with serrated knife.

Steps:

• Place pretzels, raisins and pine nuts in a bowl. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Stir in coffee granules, cinnamon and sour cream. To rewarm, microwave in additional 5- to 10-second intervals. Add to pretzel mixture; toss until combined., Drop mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls onto a waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt., Refrigerate until set, about 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• In a medium sauce pan over medium-low heat, combine the corn syrup, peanut butter and sugar. Melt together stirring repeatedly until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the sugar does not completely dissolve but you feel the mixture is smooth enough you can take off of the heat.This may take 5-10 minutes.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the peanut butter mixture and the Rice Crispies. Work quickly to coat the cereal completely.
• Turn out the mixture onto a large greased cookie sheet or onto a silicone baking sheet liner ( SILPAT -you can google it ).
• At this point you can place the mixture into a 9x13 casserole dish and later cover it with the chocolate icing or you can proceed as follows for some cute swirls!
• Work fast to spread out the mixture into a 1/2 flat rectangle -- following the contours of the cookie sheet as much as possible.
• Cool off the mixture in the fridge or freezer for 5 mins or so ( you don't want to over cool it because you still have to roll it ).
• While the mixture is cooling you can quickly assemble the chocolate glaze. In a small mixing bowl combine the butter and the milk. Heat up in the microwave for 1-2 mins, melting the butter. Now add the cocoa powder and mix well with a whisk to get out all the lumps. Add the powdered sugar *you may need more than the recipe calls for to obtain a nice thick glaze, add more by the tablespoon. I followed the recipe and was fine.
• Take out the cooled off cereal mixture from the fridge and drizzle your chocolate glaze. I only needed 1/4 of the chocolate glaze and we loved the result -- but to each his own so add as much or as little as you want. But remember the more you add the more chance you have of it leaking out the sides.
• Using your greased hands ( if you don't have a SILPAT you might want to grease your hands ) or the edges of your SILPAT, roll the cereal mixture into a log. You can compress the mixture and seal up any cracks along the way -- it is very easy to work with.
• Refrigerate for 30 mins to an hour before slicing into swirls.
