NO-BAKE PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY PIE

Steps:

• Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter together in a bowl. Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate to form a crust. Place in the refrigerator to harden.
• Meanwhile, combine cream cheese and 1 cup peanut butter in a medium bowl for filling; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
• Combine heavy cream, 1 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl; beat with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, adding more powdered sugar, if necessary. Remove 1 1/2 cups whipped cream mixture to a small bowl and place in the refrigerator. Gently fold the rest into the peanut butter mixture with a large spoon or spatula. Pour 1/2 of the peanut butter filling into the pie crust and place in the freezer until firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove pie from the freezer and spread 1/4 cup grape jam in a thin layer on top, being careful not to disturb the peanut butter filling. Pour remaining peanut butter filling on top and spread evenly with a spatula. Place in the freezer until filling has hardened, about 15 minutes.
• Place remaining peanut butter and remaining jam for the topping in 2 small microwave-safe bowls. Microwave until melted, 15 to 20 seconds. Transfer each to a small plastic bag.
• Spread remaining whipped cream mixture over the top of the pie. Cut a very small corner from each plastic bag and squeeze gently to drizzle peanut butter and jam over the top of the pie. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs and refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes.

PB&J WHOOPIE PIES (CAKE MIX)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
• Combine cake mix, graham crackers, water, oil and eggs in a large bowl. Batter will be thicker than normal cake mix.
• Put spoonfuls of batter on paper-lined cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. You can vary the size of them as much as you want. Make sure that you use your spoon to somewhat form them into circles because they smooth out but don't change shape than much while they're baking. Bake for about 10-15 minute or until batter is set. Try not to overbake them because they're best when they're soft and not quite golden brown yet.
• Remove pies/cakes from oven and allow to cool completely (about 30 minutes).
• (You can decide to stop here and wrap and freeze the pies until you are ready to fill and eat them).
• While the pies are baking and/or cooling, make the peanut butter frosting by combining the peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar and milk in a medium bowl. You may decide to add more or less milk to the mixture depending on the consistency of your peanut butter and the desired consistency of your frosting.
• Line whoopie pies up in two rows such that the ones of approximately equal shape and size are next to each other. Put about half a tablespoon of jam (or more if you're like me and looove jam) on the flat side of one cake and some peanut butter frosting on the flat side of the cake in the other row. Put the two side of the cake together.
• Serve and enjoy! I typically serve and store my whoopie pies in somewhat flattened cupcake papers just to keep them from sticking to each other.

MINIATURE PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY PIES

Steps:

• Heat 2 3/4 cups of the milk in a large saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Whisk the granulated sugar, cornstarch and salt in a large bowl. Whisk in the egg yolks and the remaining 1/4 cup milk. Whisk half of the hot milk into the egg mixture until smooth, and then gradually whisk the egg mixture into the heated milk. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the peanut butter until melted. Transfer to a bowl and cool slightly, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
• Meanwhile, place the pie crusts on a baking sheet or large platter. Place 2 teaspoons of the fruit jelly on the bottom of each pie crust. Smooth out slightly with the back of a spoon or a small offset spatula. Evenly divide the slightly cooled pudding among the pie crusts. Use the back of a spoon or a small offset spatula to spread the pudding to the edges of the pie crusts. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of each pie and chill until set, at least 4 hours.
• Whip the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer to medium to stiff peaks. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• To assemble, whisk the remaining fruit jelly with 2 teaspoons water until smooth. Place a dollop of whipped cream on top of each pie, using the back of a spoon to create a small well in the center of the whipped cream. Spoon a small amount of jelly into the well and garnish with some roasted peanuts.
