• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light yellow, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the vanilla, eggs, and peanut butter and mix until all ingredients are combined.
• In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture. Mix just until combined.
• Spread 2/3 of the dough into the prepared cake pan and spread over the bottom with a knife or offset spatula. Spread the jam evenly over the dough. Drop small globs of the remaining dough evenly over the jam. Don't worry if all the jam isn't covered; it will spread in the oven. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and bake for 45 minutes, until golden brown. Cool and cut into squares.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

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.
