Steps:
- Melt the chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds at a time until the chocolate melts, stirring after each 30-second increment.
- Spray a tart pan with cooking spray.

GIANT CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CUP
What makes classic peanut butter filling in chocolate cups irresistible is the edge of salt against sweet. That and a texture that hovers between creamy and crumbly. To get more peanutty goodness-and a tastier homemade version of it-blitz up peanuts, sugar, and salt and stuff it into a huge tart pan lined with chocolate. It's as addictive as the original with a freshness from just-ground peanuts.

Steps:
- Spray inside of tart pan ring with nonstick spray. Wrap removable bottom of pan with plastic wrap; gather excess plastic underneath (it should be smooth on top of removable bottom). Set inside ring.
- Heat chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water (bowl should not touch water), stirring, until melted. Remove from heat and, stirring constantly, add oil. Let cool, stirring occasionally, until chocolate mixture firms slightly, about 10 minutes.
- Pour a little less than half of chocolate mixture into prepared pan; reserve remaining chocolate mixture at room temperature. Tilt pan until bottom is evenly coated. Chill until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, purée peanuts, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and salt in a food processor, scraping bowl often, until mixture forms a large mass around the blade that sticks together; do not overprocess or mixture will be too soft and greasy.
- Transfer peanut mixture to a large sheet of wax paper. Press firmly into a disk 1/4" smaller than diameter of tart pan, about 9 3/4", until no cracks remain. Carefully invert disk into tart pan, centering it. Peel off and discard wax paper.
- Pour reserved chocolate mixture (it should be the consistency of fudge sauce) over center of peanut disk. Tilt pan to spread completely over the top, filling the gap between edges of pan and disk, until smooth. Chill until firm, about 45 minutes.
- Remove sides of tart pan. Carefully lift tart off bottom of pan, then slide onto a platter while removing plastic wrap. Let sit at room temperature 10 minutes, then cut into wedges.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 12 cup Bundt pan with cooking spray.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Beat the butter, sugar and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light in color and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then the vanilla until combined.
- Alternate folding in the flour mixture and the milk into the batter with a spatula, adding the flour in three additions and the milk in two, starting and ending with the flour, until just smooth. Divide the batter evenly into two medium bowls. Fold the cocoa powder into one bowl and mix until incorporated. Fold 1/2 cup peanut butter into the second bowl and mix until incorporated.
- Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon and drop alternating scoopfuls of the batter into the pan. Drag a long wooden skewer through the batter, making sure the skewer reaches the bottom, to marble the colors in a tie-dye effect. Bake the cake until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the center springs back when touched, about 40 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack and refrigerate to cool completely and chill, about 1 hour. Trim the bottom of the cake with a serrated knife so it will sit flat on a serving platter.
- Meanwhile, microwave the chocolate and coconut oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute. Microwave the remaining 1 3/4 cups peanut butter in a medium microwave safe bowl until warm and flowing, like lava, but still slightly thick, about 20 seconds.
- Place the cooling rack with the chilled cake on it into a baking sheet. Pour the chocolate sauce over top of the cake letting it drip down the sides. Sprinkle the top with the peanuts. Let the chocolate harden, about 1 hour. Transfer the cake to a serving platter. Pour the peanut butter into the hole in the center of the cake. Cover the peanut butter completely with chocolate sprinkles. Serve immediately.

GIANT CHOCOLATE AND PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE
This shortbread is like a huge, sliceable Girl Scout cookie. (You're welcome!) An easy shortbread is topped with a layer of peanut butter frosting, blanketed with a thick chocolate glaze, then chilled until set. Brown sugar helps keep the shortbread soft, and coconut oil does the same for the chocolate coating, so the whole thing is easy to cut with a knife and eat with a fork. Be sure to use bar chocolate, not chips - which don't melt as evenly - so your chocolate glaze ends up shiny and smooth.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray.
- Prepare the shortbread: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the vanilla and mix to combine.
- Reduce the speed to low. Add the flour and salt and mix until evenly combined. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and press into an even layer. Prick the shortbread all over with a fork.
- Bake until the shortbread is baked through, set and lightly golden, 22 to 26 minutes. Cool completely, and remove the outer ring from the springform pan. Place on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet.
- Wipe out the bowl of the mixer, and make the peanut butter filling: Using the paddle attachment, cream the butter, peanut butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the vanilla and salt and mix to combine.
- Spread on top of the cooled shortbread, leaving it slightly more mounded in the center than at the edges. Transfer to the refrigerator while you make the glaze.
- Place a medium heat-safe bowl over a medium pot of simmering water. Add the chocolate, coconut oil and cream to the bowl and heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is melted and fluid. (Alternatively, the mixture can be microwaved in a microwave-safe container in 15-second bursts, stirring after each burst until the mixture is fully melted.) Cool for 5 minutes.
- Pour the glaze over the cooled cookie, using a small offset spatula to help coat the edges evenly as needed. If necessary, you can collect the glaze that runs off the cookie onto the baking sheet and pour back over to glaze any missed spots.
- Once the cookie is fully glazed, use a large spatula to transfer it to a platter. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill completely for 45 minutes before slicing with a serrated knife and serving. Store, covered, at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is a good choice.
- Make sure the peanut butter is smooth and creamy. If it's too thick, it will be difficult to spread.
- Chill the chocolate and peanut butter mixture before you spread it on the graham cracker crust. This will help it set more quickly.
- If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch pie plate. Just be sure to grease and flour the pan before you pour in the chocolate mixture.
- Don't overbake the chocolate peanut butter cup. It should be set but still slightly soft in the center.
- Let the chocolate peanut butter cup cool completely before you cut into it. This will help it hold its shape.
Conclusion:
This giant chocolate peanut butter cup is the perfect dessert for any chocolate lover. It's rich, decadent, and impossible to resist. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make this delicious treat at home. So next time you're craving something sweet, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
