Peanut Butter Smores Sandwich Food

PEANUT BUTTER S'MORES SANDWICH

Steps:

• Spread peanut butter over bread. Place on a baking sheet; top with chocolate chips and marshmallows. Broil 4-5 in. from heat until lightly browned, 30-60 seconds.

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.

SUNNY'S CRUNCHY PEANUT BUTTER S'MORE BITES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add the peanut butter, butter and powdered sugar and beat with a whisk or electric beater until smooth. Using a teaspoon measure, scoop the mixture and form into balls, then press into a coin shape the diameter of a quarter. Refrigerate to set up dough cookies, about 30 minutes.
• To make bites, dip peanut butter coins in melted chocolate then toss in graham cracker crumbs until coated, double dip and double coat if you feel dangerous. Arrange the coated coins on a wire rack and refrigerate for about 30 more minutes to set. Add the marshmallow fluff to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Remove the coins from the refrigerator and squeeze about 1 teaspoon of marshmallow fluff into the center of half of the coins. If you don't have a pastry bag, use a plastic bag, fill it with fluff and cut 1 corner off and dollop that way. Then top each half with another coin to make a sandwich and place return to the refrigerator to set, about 1 hour.
• Options: chop coconut flakes and add them to the graham cracker crumbs to use for coating.
• Add puffed rice cereal into the peanut butter, butter and powdered sugar for a bit more texture and crunch.

GRILLED S'MORES SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for medium-low heat. (Medium-low is between 250 and 325 degrees. You should be able to hold your hand 4 to 5 inches above the grates for 8 to 10 seconds).
• Thinly spread one side of each piece of bread with mayonnaise. When you're ready to grill, take the bread, chocolate, marshmallows, salt and a spatula to the grill. Clean the grates with a grill brush. (No need to grease the grates.) Place the bread slices on the grill mayo-side-down. In the center of half the slices, add 1 ounce chocolate to each. To the other half, add the marshmallows. Cover and cook until the bread is toasted, the chocolate is starting to melt, and the marshmallows are swelling, 4 to 6 minutes. Check on the bread often, moving slices around the grill as needed to prevent burning. If the chocolate is melted before the bread is crisp, increase the heat to medium.
• Use the spatula or your hands to flip the marshmallow slices onto the chocolate slices. Transfer to plates, press down slightly to meld (chocolate and marshmallow will ooze out), and sprinkle with salt. Eat it as fast as you can.

PEANUT BUTTER S'MORES COOKIES

Steps:

• Cookies.
• Cream butter, brown sugar and white sugar, add peanut butter and stir till combined.
• Add egg, milk & vanilla, mix till smooth.
• Combine flour, baking soda and salt in bowl. Add peanut mixture mixing well. Roll tablespoon sized amounts into round balls.
• Arrange on cookie sheets.
• Bake at 180 degrees celsius for around 6 minutes, take out of oven and flatten with a spatula and return to oven for further 6 minutes.
• Remove from oven and turn over half the cookies and place a piece of chocolate on the overturned cookies, let sit for a minute till choc melts then place the marshmallow on top, press down with the other half of the cookies.

PEANUT BUTTER S'MORES COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar together in a large bowl. Mix in eggs and vanilla until combined. Add flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, and salt; mix well. Stir in peanut butter chips. Cover and refrigerate dough for 1 hour.
• 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.
• Cool on the baking sheet briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

GRILLED PEANUT BUTTER S'MORES PIZZA

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the warm water, honey and yeast. Allow to sit for 10 minutes to proof the yeast. It should be foamy.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, olive oil and the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to come together. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead by hand until a soft smooth dough forms, about 5 to 8 minutes. Form the dough into a ball and place inside a lightly greased large bowl. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and a damp kitchen towel and allow to rest until doubled in size, for 2 hours.
• Once done, gently punch the dough down and then transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Cut into three even pieces and form into balls. Keep them covered with a kitchen towel.
• Working with one at a time, roll out into a rectangle or a circle. Brush the surface evenly with olive oil.
• Preheat a large stovetop grill pan or an outdoor grill over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the pizza dough onto the grill, oil side down. Then brush the top side with oil as well. Cook until the dough begins to puff up slightly and grill marks form, about 5 to 8 minutes. Carefully flip over and continue to grill on the second side for about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and then continue grilling the rest of the pizza dough.
• Spread the grilled pizza dough with peanut butter and then top with chocolate chips and marshmallows. Return to the grill and cook over low heat with the lid on until the chocolate has melted slightly and the marshmallows have browned somewhat. Keep an eye on it at this stage so that it doesn't burn. If you use a stovetop grill pan, you can do this stage in a preheated 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
• Transfer the pizza to a serving platter or large wooden cutting board and then top with the crumbled graham crackers. Slice and serve warm.
