PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease a 9 by 13 by 2-inch cake pan. Line it with parchment paper, then grease and flour the pan.
• 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.

• In medium bowl, beat cream cheese on medium speed until smooth. Add 3 eggs, the milk, peanut butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, until well mixed. Spoon peanut butter mixture over oat mixture in pan; spread evenly to edges of pan. Carefully crumble reserved oat mixture evenly over peanut butter layer.
• Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on wire rack, about 30 minutes. For bars, cut into 8 rows by 6 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.

PEANUT BUTTER BARS WITH SALTED CHOCOLATE GANACHE

Steps:

• Coat the bottom and sides of an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
• In a large bowl, stir to combine the confectioners' sugar, graham cracker crumbs, peanut butter, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the prepared baking dish and set aside.
• Place the chocolate and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan until bubbles start to form around the edges. Pour the cream over the chocolate, let sit for 1 minute and then whisk until completely melted and smooth.
• Pour the ganache over the peanut butter mixture and refrigerate until the chocolate is cooled and set, at least 45 minutes and up to overnight.
• Sprinkle evenly with the flaky sea salt. Cut into squares to serve.

RASPBERRY CRUMBLE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on medium speed just until combined. With the mixer on low, add the vanilla.
• Sift the flour and salt together and, with the mixer on low, slowly add to the butter mixture, mixing until it almost comes together in a ball. Turn the dough out on a board. Lightly pat two-thirds of the dough evenly on the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan and about 1/4-inch up the sides. Spread with the jam, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Mix the granola into the remaining dough with your hands. Break the dough into small bits and distribute it on top of the jam, covering most of the surface. Sprinkle the almonds on top. Bake the bars for 45 minutes, until lightly browned.
• Cool completely and cut into 9 or 12 bars. Sprinkle lightly with confectioners' sugar.

PEANUT BUTTER CRUMBLE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325*.
• Place the cake mix, peanut butter, melted butter and eggs in a large mixing bowl.
• Blend with an electric mixer on medium speed for about a minute.
• Scrape the sides of the bowl and mix again for about 30 more seconds,or until uniformly mixed; the mixture will be very thick.
• Transfer the mixture into an ungreased 13 X 9 cake pan, reserving 1 1/2 cups for the topping.
• Using your hands, press the crust evenly over the bottom of the pan so it reaches all sides.
• Set both the pan aside and the reserved topping.
• For the filling, stir the chocolate chips, condensed milk and 2 TBS butter in a pan on low heat and cook for about 5 minutes, until chocolate is melted and is well mixed, then remove from the heat.
• Stir in nuts, coconut and vanilla until well mixed.
• Pour the chocolate mixture evenly over the crust.
• Crumble the reserved topping over chocolate mixture in the pan.
• Place the pan in the middle of the preheated 325* oven for about 20-25 minutes, until lightly browned.
• Cool on wire rack for 30 minutes.
• Note- I used Darlene Summers' recipe#14062 for an excellent substitute for the sweetened condensed milk.

PEANUT BUTTER AND APRICOT OATMEAL CRUMBLE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8x8-inch (2 L) baking pan with parchment paper. Place apricots and water in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer, cover, stirring occasionally until apricots have absorbed water, about 7 minutes. Stir in jam. Remove from heat, then puree in a food processor. It doesn't need to be perfectly smooth.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir oats with flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in peanut butter. Mixture should be clumpy and will not be smooth. Using your fingers, work in butter until mixture is crumbly. Place slightly more than half the mixture, about 1 3/4 cups (425 mL), onto the parchment paper in the pan. Press firmly to form a single layer. Top with apricot mixture then gently spread to cover.
• Toss peanuts into remaining oat mixture, keeping the crumble as best you can. Crumble evenly over apricot mixture. Bake in centre of preheated oven 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
