Peanut Butter And Chocolate Swirl Food

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER SWIRL COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, or using a handheld mixer, beat the peanut butter and sugar on high just until combined, about 1 minute. Add the eggs and salt and beat on medium until well combined, about 1 minute. Transfer half the dough to a bowl or a clean work surface.
• Add the chocolate and cocoa powder to the remaining dough in the bowl of the electric mixer and beat on medium until combined.
• Portion the peanut butter dough into 1 tablespoon scoops and the chocolate dough into heaping 1 tablespoon scoops. Squeeze together one scoop of peanut butter dough and one scoop of chocolate dough and roll into a neat ball. Transfer the balls to the prepared pans, at least 1 1/2 inches apart. Using the flat bottom of a glass dipped in granulated sugar, press each ball into a flat circle that is 1/2-inch thick. (After pressing the first cookie, the glass will be greasy enough for the sugar to adhere to it.)
• Bake the cookies until set and slightly puffed, 14 to 16 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through baking. Transfer the baking sheets to wire racks to cool. (Cookies will be quite crumbly and delicate right after baking and need a few minutes to firm up.)

Refrigerate 3-4 hours or until firm. , Preheat oven to 350°. Unwrap dough and cut into 1/4-in. slices. Place 2 in. apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake 6-8 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Cool 2 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Freeze option: Place wrapped logs in a freezer container; freeze. To use, unwrap frozen logs and cut into slices. If necessary, let dough stand a few minutes at room temperature before cutting. Bake as directed.

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER SWIRL SMOOTHIE

• Put half of the melted chocolate mixture into a blender along with the bananas, yogurt, milk and peanut butter. Blend until smooth and frothy, about 2 minutes.
• Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate in the bottom and down the sides of two large glasses. Fill each glass with the smoothie and serve immediately.

PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIE SWIRL COOKIES

Steps:

• For the peanut butter cookie dough: Whisk together 2 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
• Beat 1 stick plus 2 tablespoons butter, 1/2 cup dark brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add 1 egg and beat until completely incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in the peanut butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla until creamy. Reduce the speed to medium and add the flour mixture, then beat until completely incorporated. Turn out the dough and form into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle, then wrap tightly in plastic. Freeze until beginning to firm up, 30 minutes. (Do not over-chill or the dough will crack when rolled.)
• Meanwhile, make the sugar cookie dough: Whisk together 2 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
• Beat 2 sticks butter and 1 cup granulated sugar together in a large bowl on medium-high speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla and beat until completely incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Reduce the speed to medium, add the flour mixture and beat until completely incorporated. Turn out the dough and form dough into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle and wrap tightly in plastic. Freeze until beginning to firm up, 30 minutes. (Do not over chill or the dough will crack when rolled.)
• Make the brownie batter: Whisk the cocoa together with the remaining 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Melt the remaining 6 tablespoons butter and whisk with the remaining 3/4 cup dark brown sugar in another medium bowl until incorporated. Add the remaining 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla and whisk until smooth with no large lumps of sugar remaining. Fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture and stir vigorously for 15 seconds until the batter is very thick and smooth.
• Generously flour a large piece of parchment paper and roll the peanut butter dough into a 16-by-12-inch rectangle. Repeat with the sugar cookie dough. Using the parchment to help you, lift the sugar cookie dough and flip it onto the peanut butter dough, parchment-side up, so that edges of both doughs are lined up. Brush off any excess flour and trim the edges to square off all sides. Evenly spread the brownie batter over the entire surface of the sugar cookie dough using an offset spatula. Position the dough so that one of the short sides is facing you. Working from the bottom edge closest to you and using the parchment to help you, roll the dough up tightly, peeling back the parchment as you roll and form a tight log. Keep the log covered in parchment and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Remove from the freezer and roll gently on the counter to create a more circular log. Freeze until solid, at least 5 hours and up to 24.
• Position 2 oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Slice half the frozen dough with a sharp knife into 1/2-inch slices (keep the remaining dough frozen until ready to bake) and place on the lined pans spaced 2 inches apart (about 6 per sheet). Bake, switching the positions of the cookie sheets halfway through, until the peanut butter cookie is golden brown but the sugar cookie is still blonde, 14 to 18 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
• Let the baking sheets cool completely, then slice the remaining frozen dough and repeat.
• Store the cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE SWIRL BROWNIES

• Divide batter in half.
• To one half add peanut butter and peanut butter chips and mix
• To the other half add cocoa and chocolate chips and mix.
• In a greased 9x9 in baking pan, spoon chocolate batter in eight mounds to form a checkerboard pattern.

PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE RICE CRISPY SWIRLS

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.

CHOCOLATE STOUT AND PEANUT BUTTER SWIRL BROWNIES

• Sift cocoa powder, sugar, and flour in a large mixing bowl. Add melted chocolate and butter, chocolate stout, and eggs. Stir until just combined, taking care not to over-mix.
• Pour batter into the prepared pan. Using a teaspoon, place dollops of peanut buter over the surface of the batter. Swirl a knife tip through the batter to create a marbled effect.
• Bake for 22-25 minutes or until a sewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before removing and cutting into squares.
