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.

PEANUT BUTTER AND BANANA PANINI

Steps:

• Lay out the bread slices and spread them both with peanut butter. Lay the banana slices on one piece of bread. Press the 2 slices together.
• Butter one side of the sandwich and put it on a hot panini maker butter-side down. Butter the other side, close the lid and cook until it's toasted and warmed through. (If you do not have a panini maker, you can grill the sandwich in a skillet, laying another heavy skillet on top of the sandwich to press it together. Turn to grill the other side in the same way.)
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar, cut in half and serve!

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.

S'MORE PEANUT BUTTER PANINI

Steps:

• Preheat grill pan or frying pan to medium-low heat. (You could also do this in a panini maker).
• Put a very thin spread of peanut butter on each slice of bread. Top one slice of bread with the 3 slices of banana, dabs of the strawberry jam, and the marshmallows. Top with the second slice of bread.
• Lightly spread the softened butter on the outside of the sandwich and place on the preheated pan. Cook for 2 minutes (or until golden) and turn and cook for another 2 minutes.
• Slice on the diagonal and drizzle with the chocolate flavored syrup and a dollop of whipped cream or you can drizzle the plate with the chocolate syrup and place the sandwich on top with a dollop of whipped cream. It is easiest to eat this with a fork.

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.

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.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY PANINI

Steps:

• Spread peanut butter liberally on one slice of bread.
• Spread jelly on the other slice.
• Put the two pieces together.
• Place the sandwich on a pre-heated panini maker.
• Close the top and cook three minutes.
• Remove, slice in half and serve.
• (If you have toddlers, you might wait a minute to let the bread cool slightly for them).
