Categories     dessert

Time 2h55m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
3 sleeves (28 crackers) butter crackers
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) salted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup seedless strawberry jam, lightly whisked to loosen

Steps:

  • Make the crust. Spray an 8-inch square metal baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line with parchment paper, allowing the parchment to overhang the edges of the pan. Spray again and set aside.
  • In a food processor, pulse the crackers, brown sugar and butter until combined and it resembles wet sand. Remove and press into the bottom of the pan. Refrigerate for an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Make the PB layer: In a stand mixer or with a hand-held mixer, beat the peanut butter, brown sugar and butter in a bowl until smooth. Remove the pan from the refrigerator and spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the bottom layer.
  • Add the jelly swirl. Drop about 9 dollops of the jam around the pan. Use a skewer or butter knife and drag it through the jam and peanut butter to make swirls.
  • Bake until set, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool completely, then remove from the pan and cut into bars the size of your choosing.

FANCY GRILLED PB AND J



Fancy Grilled PB and J image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 30m

Yield 1 sandwich

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 to 3 slices bacon, cut into 2 or 3 pieces each
1/2 medium yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons peanut butter
2 slices sourdough bread
1 tablespoon apricot or peach jam
2 ounces grated manchego cheese
1 slice provolone
1 slice Swiss cheese
3 tablespoons mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the bacon to the skillet and cook until not quite crisp, about 2 minutes per side; remove to a plate. Add the onions to the skillet, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any fat. Wipe the skillet and place it back on the heat.
  • Begin building the rest of the sandwich: Spread peanut butter on both slices of bread, then spread jam on both slices as well. Place the manchego on one of the slices, then cut the provolone in half and place on top of the manchego. Cut the Swiss cheese in half and place on top of the jam on the other slice. Pile the onions on top of the provolone cheese, followed by the pieces of bacon. Make the sandwich by closing the 2 filled sides of bread together and press slightly to help it all stay together.
  • Spread the top of the sandwich with half the mayonnaise. Place the sandwich into the skillet mayonnaise-side down. Spread the rest of the mayonnaise on the top of the sandwich. Fry until the outsides of the sandwich are golden brown and the cheese in the middle is melted, 3 to 4 minutes each side. Cut in half and serve.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h55m

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
2 cups (18 ounces) creamy peanut butter (recommended: Skippy)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 cups (18 ounces) raspberry jam or other jam
2/3 cups salted peanuts, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease a 9 by 13 by 2-inch cake pan. Line it with parchment paper, then grease and flour the pan.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light yellow, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the vanilla, eggs, and peanut butter and mix until all ingredients are combined.
  • In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture. Mix just until combined.
  • Spread 2/3 of the dough into the prepared cake pan and spread over the bottom with a knife or offset spatula. Spread the jam evenly over the dough. Drop small globs of the remaining dough evenly over the jam. Don't worry if all the jam isn't covered; it will spread in the oven. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and bake for 45 minutes, until golden brown. Cool and cut into squares.

PBJ THUMBPRINT BARS



PBJ Thumbprint Bars image

Halfway between a cookie and a blondie, these peanut butter and jelly bars are delightfully chewy. They're salty-sweet with pockets of raspberry jam.

Provided by Edd Kimber

Yield Makes 12-16

Number Of Ingredients 13

135g (9½ tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus extra for greasing
250g (2 cups) plain (all-purpose) flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
150g (¾ cup) caster (superfine) sugar
175g (⅔ cup plus 2 tablespoons) light brown sugar
130g (½ cup) smooth peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
160g (½ cup) raspberry jam
75g (⅔ cup) salted peanuts, roughly chopped
50g white chocolate, melted
1 tablespoon smooth peanut butter, gently warmed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180ºC (160ºC Fan) 350ºF, Gas Mark 4. Lightly grease your 23 x 33cm (9 x 13in) baking tin and line with a strip of parchment paper that overhangs the long sides, securing it in place with metal clips.
  • Place the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and whisk together.
  • Place the butter, sugars and peanut butter in a separate large bowl and beat with an electric mixer for about 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and beat briefly to combine. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the flour mixture and beat on a low speed until evenly combined.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared tin and spread evenly. Using a small spoon, or the handle of a wooden spoon, make lots of little holes over the surface of the dough, then fill them with jam. Sprinkle over the chopped peanuts, trying to avoid the jam.
  • Bake for about 35 minutes, or until set and firm around the edges. Set aside to cool completely in the tin. Use the parchment paper to carefully lift the bars from the tin, then use a sharp knife to cut into pieces.
  • For the topping, mix together the white chocolate and peanut butter and drizzle over the bars, using a spoon or a piping bag.
  • Stored in a sealed container, these will keep for 3-4 days.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter. This will make the filling smooth and easy to spread.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the bars hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Don't overbake the bars. They should be just set in the center, or they will be dry.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from crumbling.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Peanut Butter Filled Delightfulls, also known as PB&J Bars, are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple shortbread crust, a creamy peanut butter filling, and a layer of raspberry jam. The bars are then baked until golden brown and cut into squares. These bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
