Pb And J Crunchy Peanut Butter Souffle With Strawberry Sauce Food

PB AND J BLONDIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and set the rack to the middle position. Place two overlapping sheets of greased parchment or foil in a 9- by 13-inch baking dish, so they form a cross and hang over the ends by at least 1 inch.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. In another bowl, mix the melted butter and brown sugar until combined. Add in the eggs and vanilla, and mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and gently fold with a spatula until uniform. Fold in the peanut butter chips and peanuts.
• Pour the batter into the baking dish and spoon on the preserves. Using a skewer or knife, make swirly patterns into the batter with the preserves. Bake until the top is shiny and a cake tester comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the dish on a wire rack. Using the ends of the foil or parchment, lift the blondies out the dish. Cut into 24 squares and serve!

FANCY GRILLED PB AND J

Steps:

• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the bacon to the skillet and cook until not quite crisp, about 2 minutes per side; remove to a plate. Add the onions to the skillet, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any fat. Wipe the skillet and place it back on the heat.
• Begin building the rest of the sandwich: Spread peanut butter on both slices of bread, then spread jam on both slices as well. Place the manchego on one of the slices, then cut the provolone in half and place on top of the manchego. Cut the Swiss cheese in half and place on top of the jam on the other slice. Pile the onions on top of the provolone cheese, followed by the pieces of bacon. Make the sandwich by closing the 2 filled sides of bread together and press slightly to help it all stay together.
• Spread the top of the sandwich with half the mayonnaise. Place the sandwich into the skillet mayonnaise-side down. Spread the rest of the mayonnaise on the top of the sandwich. Fry until the outsides of the sandwich are golden brown and the cheese in the middle is melted, 3 to 4 minutes each side. Cut in half and serve.

PB & J CUPS

Steps:

• Line 8 cups in a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
• Melt the chocolate in a double boiler (set a heatproof bowl over a saucepan filled with a few inches of simmering water) over medium heat. Stir the chocolate occasionally, until melted, about 5 minutes. Once the chocolate is melted, turn the heat off.
• Meanwhile, add the peanut butter and confectioners' sugar to a mixing bowl. Mix with a hand mixer until well combined. Set the peanut butter mixture aside.
• Spoon 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate into each cupcake liner. Use a 1-tablespoon size cookie scoop to portion the peanut butter mixture on to your hand. If the mixture is too sticky, lightly spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray. Slightly flatten the peanut butter, but make sure to keep it smaller than the base of the muffin cup so that the chocolate can encase it. Place the peanut butter on top of the chocolate, slightly pressing to let the chocolate come slightly up the sides of the peanut butter. Repeat the process to fill all 12 muffin cups.
• Next, use a 1/2-tablespoon size cookie scoop to scoop a portion of jelly on top of the peanut butter. To finish the cups, top the peanut butter and jelly with an additional tablespoon of melted chocolate. Use a spoon to spread the chocolate to completely cover the peanut butter and jelly. Sprinkle each cup with flake salt, if desired. Transfer the muffin tin to the fridge for 30 minutes, until completely set.
• The PB & J cups can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or the freezer for up to 1 month.

CRUNCHY FRIED PB AND J

Steps:

• Spread the peanut butter on 4 slices of bread and the raspberry preserves on the other 4 slices. Add the bananas and a nice pile of chips on top of the peanut butter slices; sandwich with the raspberry preserve slices.
• Place the eggs and cereal in separate shallow bowls. Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Dip a sandwich in the eggs, then the cinnamon cereal, pressing down to make sure the cereal adheres to both sides. Repeat with the other sandwiches.
• In batches, fry the sandwiches low and slow until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side, adding more butter to the pan as needed. Cut the sandwiches in half on the diagonal and serve.

PB AND J SUNDAE

Steps:

• Transfer ice cream to mixing bowl and add jelly. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the jelly so it is streaky and not uniformly mixed. Return to the pint container and freeze until set, about 2 hours.
• Melt butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add bread cubes and stir to coat bread on all sides. Continue stirring, until bread is golden brown on all sides. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons sugar and set aside.
• Combine heavy cream and brown sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, add peanut butter, and stir until combined and melted. To serve, scoop ice cream into serving bowls, drizzle with peanut butter sauce and top with croutons.

SUNNY'S PB AND J STUFFED APPLES

Steps:

• For the apples and filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Halve the apples across the equator. Scoop out the core of the apples, leaving a well in the center. Level the bottoms of the apples if needed.
• In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, yogurt, peanuts and agave. Fill the apple halves evenly and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the filling is set and the apples are slightly tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• For the topping: Add the jelly to a small bowl, then add a few drops of hot water at a time to loosen it, stirring, until you reach a syrup consistency.
• Sprinkle the toast pieces over the top of the apples, drizzle the jelly syrup on top and sprinkle lightly with salt.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH

Steps:

• Spread a half teaspoon of butter on each slice of bread.
