Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Smores Food

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER-COVERED CHEEZ-IT S'MORES

Steps:

• Bring a few inches of water in a medium saucepan to a boil over medium heat.
• Combine the chocolate, peanut butter, and butter in a heatproof bowl that fits over the top of the pot. Melt the ingredients over the boiling water, stirring until combined.
• Remove from the heat and add to the Cheez-Its in a bowl. Toss to coat and then let sit for 10 to 15 minutes to avoid clumping when you add the powders.
• Combine the confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder. Toss with the coated Cheez-Its.
• Toast the marshmallows over the open flame of a grill or stove. Smoosh the melting marshmallow between two coated Cheez-Its.

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER S'MORES

Steps:

• Toast the marshmallow: Thread marshmallow onto a metal skewer and hold over medium-high heat, rotating, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Sandwich 1 peanut butter cup and 2 toasted marshmallows between 2 peanut butter cookies.

PEANUT BUTTER-CHOCOLATE CHIP S'MORES

Steps:

• Place 1 cookie, flat-side up, on napkin or microwaveable plate; top with marshmallow.
• Microwave on HIGH 8 to 10 sec. or until marshmallow puffs.
• Spread peanut butter on flat side of remaining cookie; place on marshmallow. Press down lightly to secure.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER S'MORES BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13 straight-sided baking pan with parchment, letting the parchment hang over the long sides by about 2 inches (this will help you remove the bars from the pan later). Spray all the parchment, including the exposed ends, with non-stick cooking spray.
• Add the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt to a medium-sized bowl then whisk to combine. Set aside. Add the butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. On medium-low speed, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Turn the mixer off and add in the flour mixture and stir by hand until just combined.
• Divide the dough in half. Using clean hands, place pieces of the dough all over the base of the prepared pan (this will make it easier to spread it into a crust that covers the base of the pan). Lightly spray your clean hands with the non-stick spray then gently press and mold the dough to cover the base of the pan.
• Place the chocolate bars on top of the dough in an even flat layer. Press slightly to adhere the chocolate to the dough. It will not cover the dough completely but will melt and spread as it bakes. Similar to the dough, dollop the marshmallow creme all over the chocolate bars. Spray your clean hands with the non-stick spray then use them to gently spread the marshmallow creme to completely cover the chocolate bars and dough. Sprinkle the peanut butter chips and the semi-sweet chocolate chips on top of the marshmallow creme. Spray your hands once again then take the remaining half of the dough and gently flatten into pancake-like pieces. Place them on top of the chips allowing some of the marshmallow creme and chips to peek through.
• Bake until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Let the bars cool completely before cutting into squares.

CHOCOLATE DIPPED PEANUT BUTTER S'MORES

Steps:

• Spread a generous dollop of peanut butter onto one side of 8 of the cracker squares, and then spread the chocolate-hazelnut spread onto one side of the other 8 squares.
• Thread the marshmallows onto 2 metal skewers and carefully toast over a flame on the stove top. Place 1 toasted marshmallow onto each of the peanut-butter-covered graham crackers. Top with the chocolate-covered crackers and sandwich together gently.
• Melt the white almond bark and milk chocolate in separate glass bowls set over simmering water. Set aside to cool, stirring occasionally to keep the chocolate melted.
• When the toppings are at room temperature, one by one dip half of the sandwiches in the white chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Work quickly, and then add on whatever sprinkles or toppings you'd like to use. Repeat with the remaining 4 sandwiches, dipping them in the milk chocolate and finishing with the desired toppings.
• Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Then you can store the s'mores at room temperature or in the fridge until you're ready to serve!

PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Have ready at least 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
• Cream butter until smooth.
• Add peanut butter and both sugars and beat until combined well.
• Add egg and beat well.
• Stir in flour and baking soda gradually until well combined.
• Stir in chocolate chips by hand.
• Using a meatball scooper or a spoon, scoop out small portions of dough and drop onto parchment lined cookie sheets, leaving 2" gap between each cookie.
• Bake for about 15 minutes or until cookies are just firm around the edges- don't overbake- if you wait until they are brown on top, they will be too hard.
• Slide parchment sheet, cookies and all, carefully off pan and onto your counter, set a new piece of parchment paper onto your baking sheet and repeat until all dough is baked.
• Meanwhile, as the next batch bakes, remove baked cookies from the parchment and let cool completely on wire racks.
• Wipe off the crumbs from the old sheet of parchment and you can reuse it for your next batch.
• These will keep about 3 days stored in a cookie tin (for crisp cookies) or an airtight plastic container (for softer cookies).

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls and drop on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each to allow cookies to spread.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 6 minutes. Remove from the oven. Push 3 to 5 mini marshmallows into the center of each cookie, along with a few pieces of chopped peanut butter cups. Return to the oven and bake until cookies are golden brown and marshmallows are a bit toasted, 2 to 3 more minutes.
