Categories     dessert

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup chunky peanut butter
Eight 1-inch-thick slices Pullman bread
1 cup good raspberry preserves
2 bananas, sliced thin on the bias
2 cups plain potato chips with ridges
3 large eggs, beaten
2 cups cinnamon square cereal, crushed by hand in a re-sealable plastic bag
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Spread the peanut butter on 4 slices of bread and the raspberry preserves on the other 4 slices. Add the bananas and a nice pile of chips on top of the peanut butter slices; sandwich with the raspberry preserve slices.
  • Place the eggs and cereal in separate shallow bowls. Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Dip a sandwich in the eggs, then the cinnamon cereal, pressing down to make sure the cereal adheres to both sides. Repeat with the other sandwiches.
  • In batches, fry the sandwiches low and slow until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side, adding more butter to the pan as needed. Cut the sandwiches in half on the diagonal and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss any steps.
  • Use Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your peanut butter thins. Use high-quality peanut butter, butter, and chocolate chips for the best results.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make your peanut butter thins tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help it to hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the Cookies Until They Are Just Golden Brown: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until they are golden brown around the edges.
