Chocolate-Salted Peanut Crunch Squares image

What could be more romantic than the cold-pressed oil of a cacao bean-aka cacao butter? Maybe it's the fact that cacao butter isn't just an essential ingredient in chocolate, but also a healthy source of Omega-6 and Omega-9 fatty acids, antioxidants and, yes, mood-stimulating serotonin.

Tips for the Best Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Cookies:

  • Chill the dough before baking: This helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven, resulting in a thicker, chewier cookie.
  • Use high-quality chocolate and peanut butter: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Look for chocolate chips that are at least 60% cacao and a creamy, natural peanut butter.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown: The centers of the cookies should still be slightly soft when you remove them from the oven. They will continue to set as they cool.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This helps to prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Chocolate peanut butter crunch cookies are a classic treat that is perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and always a hit with friends and family. With their rich chocolate flavor, creamy peanut butter filling, and crunchy toffee topping, these cookies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give this recipe a try.
