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.

Conclusion:

These crunchy peanut butter thins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them plain or topped with chocolate chips, sprinkles, or nuts, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
