CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER WHOOPIE PIES
This recipe is a great excuse to give that convection setting a try if your oven has one. On convection, an internal fan continually circulates the hot air. Since the air all around the food is a consistent temperature, multiple trays of food will cook evenly. Rotating the sheets becomes unnecessary and all the food bakes up faster and more uniformly. A conventional oven will still work well for this recipe - just bake one sheet at a time.

Steps:
- For the cakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, or 325 degrees F on the convection setting. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and beat to combine. Beat in the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with additions of the buttermilk, starting and ending with flour mixture.
- Scoop the batter by 1/4-cupfuls onto three parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets, at least 3 inches apart. With the back of a cookie scoop or a spoon, shape the scoops of batter into neat circles. Bake until the cakes spring back when gently pressed in the center, 15 to 18 minutes. Slip the parchment with the cakes still on it onto cooling racks. Let the cakes cool completely on the parchment.
- For the filling: In a medium bowl, beat the peanut butter and butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add the confectioners' sugar and the salt and beat on low until smooth. Chill the filling for 15 minutes.
- Carefully lift the cakes off of the parchment. Spread about 3 tablespoons of filling on a flat side of half of the cakes. Top with the remaining cakes, flat-side down.

CLASSIC PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOM COOKIES
Christmas just isn't Christmas without these-they're the most wonderful cookie of the year! Time and time again, Betty Crocker™ fans tell us these are their most-made cookies, and it's no wonder why. Tender peanut butter cookies, made from scratch in a recipe that comes together quickly, are the base that sets the standard. Once they're out of the oven, Hershey's Kisses are immediately pressed into the warm cookies so that the dough cradles the candy and holds it in place. Once they're cooled and ready to eat, they're the perfect combination of silky chocolate and tender, sweet-salty peanut butter cookie-and you'd better believe they'll disappear fast!

Steps:
- Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, pulse wafers until finely ground. In a bowl, combine wafer crumbs, butter, brown sugar, and salt. Press mixture firmly into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes. Bake until set, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Filling: With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and salt until fluffy. Beat in peanut butter and vanilla.
- In a chilled bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form. Whisk one-third of whipped cream into peanut butter mixture, then gently fold in remaining whipped cream. Spoon filling into cooled crust. Freeze, uncovered, 4 hours (or up to 1 day, covered with plastic wrap).
- Garnish: Melt chocolate in heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pan of simmering water. (Alternatively, you can melt it in the microwave.) Transfer melted chocolate to a resealable plastic bag. Snip tip from one corner of bag to make a very small opening. Holding bag about 5 inches above pie, drizzle melted chocolate over top. In a small saucepan over low heat (or in the microwave), melt peanut butter. Place in a resealable plastic bag; snip corner, and drizzle in same manner as melted chocolate. Let pie stand 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling during the process.
- Use good quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the taste of your moon pies. Use high-quality chocolate, peanut butter, and graham crackers.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your moon pies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help it hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the moon pies until they are just set: Overbaking the moon pies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the moon pies cool completely before frosting them: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Chocolate peanut butter moon pies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
