Peanut butter fingers are a classic candy bar that is loved by people of all ages. They are made with a creamy peanut butter center that is coated in a layer of chocolate. The combination of sweet and salty is irresistible, and the crunchy texture of the peanuts adds a delightful dimension.

This article provides two recipes for peanut butter fingers. The first recipe is for a classic peanut butter finger, while the second recipe is for a peanut butter finger with a chocolate chip cookie crust. Both recipes are easy to follow and can be made with ingredients that you probably already have on hand.

The classic peanut butter finger recipe starts with a simple peanut butter filling. The filling is made with peanut butter, sugar, butter, and vanilla extract. Once the filling is made, it is spread onto a layer of graham cracker crumbs. The graham cracker crumbs provide a sturdy base for the candy bar and help to hold the filling in place.

The peanut butter finger with a chocolate chip cookie crust recipe is a fun twist on the classic candy bar. The crust is made with chocolate chip cookie dough, which is pressed into a baking pan and baked until golden brown. Once the crust is cooled, it is topped with the peanut butter filling. The candy bar is then chilled until firm.

Both of these peanut butter finger recipes are delicious and easy to make. They are the perfect treat for any occasion.

Here are our top 12 tried and tested recipes!

PEANUT BUTTER FINGERS WITH SALTY MILK CHOCOLATE GLAZE



Peanut Butter Fingers with Salty Milk Chocolate Glaze image

Nut cookies in the shape of "sticks" or "fingers" were kind of a thing back in the day. I substitute bread flour instead of all-purpose for chewiness, which is a must for a peanut butter cookie in my opinion.

Provided by Jessie Sheehan

Yield Makes 12 fingers

Number Of Ingredients 18

Cookies:
1 1/3 cups [185 g] bread flour or all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp table salt
1/2 cup [110 g] unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup [100 g] granulated sugar
1 cup [200 g] packed light brown sugar
6 Tbsp [90 ml] vegetable oil
1 cup [260 g] creamy peanut butter (not all-natural)
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
Glaze:
3 1/2 oz [100 g] milk chocolate
1/8 tsp table salt
1/4 cup [60 ml] heavy cream
Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Grease an 8-by-8-by-2-in [20-by-20-by-5-cm] pan with nonstick cooking spray or softened butter, line with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides, and grease again.
  • For the cookies:
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the oil and peanut butter and continue to mix until fully incorporated, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
  • Decrease the mixer speed to medium-low and add the egg and yolk, one at a time, beating well and scraping the bowl after each addition with a rubber spatula. Add the vanilla and mix to combine. Add the dry ingredients all at once, mixing just to combine.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 to 36 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F [180°C].
  • Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan, making it as flat and even as possible. Bake for 22 to 27 minutes, until browned and dry to the touch. Let cool.
  • Freeze for about 10 minutes (this helps immeasurably with making clean cuts). Alternatively, you can tightly wrap the pan and freeze for up to a week before bringing back to room temperature and cutting and glazing.
  • Lift the bar cookie from the pan using the parchment paper sling. Trim off all four edges, then slice the bar in half horizontally and vertically cut each half into 6 slices, creating 12 fingers.
  • For the glaze:
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Place the chocolate and salt in a small heatproof bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat, until just boiling.
  • Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for 1 minute. Mix the chocolate and cream together until the two are combined. If the chocolate is not completely melted, place in a pan set over simmering water and melt on the stove top over low heat.
  • Dip the top of each finger in the glaze, double-dipping for a thicker coat if you so desire, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle flaky sea salt over each one. Refrigerate until the chocolate sets, about an hour.
  • Serve the fingers cold from the fridge or at room temperature. The cookies will keep in an airtight container on the counter or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Provided by Sue H

Categories     Other Snacks

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 c butter, softened
3/4 c brown sugar
1/2 c granulated sugar
1/2 c creamy peanut butter
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/3 tsp salt
1 1/2 c rolled oats
2 c peanut butter, whipped till fluffy
chocolate icing:
1 c brown sugar
1/2 c cocoa, unsweetened
1/3 c butter
6 oz evaporated milk
2 c powdered sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Cream butter, sugars and 1/2 cup peanut butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and continue mixing until blended, scraping bowl often.
  • 2. Combine flour, baking soda and salt. Slowly stir flour mixture into creamed mixture until combined. Stir in oats until well blended.
  • 3. Spread into a buttered 12x18 (half-sheet) cake pan. Bake 350º for 10-15 minutes or until light brown being careful not to over bake.
  • 4. While these are baking whip the remaining 2 cups of peanut butter until fluffy. Spread whipped peanut butter over top of peanut butter fingers while still warm. Place in refrigerator until cooled and peanut butter is set.
  • 5. In a saucepan over medium heat; melt butter. Add sugar, cocoa and evaporated milk. Cook 2 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and add powdered sugar, mixing until smooth. Spread over top of cooled and set peanut butter fingers. Cut into desired servings.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth and creamy filling. If you prefer a chunkier filling, use chunky peanut butter instead.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test to check the temperature of the sugar syrup. When the syrup reaches 230 degrees Fahrenheit (110 degrees Celsius), a small drop of the syrup will form a soft ball when dropped into a bowl of cold water.
  • Be careful when working with the hot sugar syrup. It can cause severe burns if it comes into contact with your skin.
  • Let the peanut butter fingers cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
  • Store the peanut butter fingers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter fingers are a delicious and easy-to-make candy bar. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or as a sweet snack. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious treat that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give peanut butter fingers a try.
