CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER SHORTBREAD SQUARES



Chocolate Peanut Butter Shortbread Squares image

The milk-chocolate topping of these cookies looks like the result of masterful piping, but it's actually a cinch to make using a mold. Beneath the chocolate hides a layer of peanut butter on top of brown-sugar shortbread, all of them adding up to a treat that's creamy and crumbly and rich throughout.

Yield Makes about 36 squares

Number Of Ingredients 7

Vegetable oil, cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons coarse salt
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
12 ounces milk chocolate, melted
1 cup creamy peanut butter

Steps:

  • Coat a 9 1/2-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. Line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides, and coat parchment with spray.
  • Sift flour and salt into a medium bowl. Beat butter with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. With the mixer running, add sugar, and beat until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture, beating until just incorporated. Press dough evenly into pan. Cover, and refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Bake shortbread until golden brown and firm in center, 45 to 50 minutes. Let shortbread cool in pan on a wire rack.
  • Place a basket-weave mat, trimmed to fit pan, on a rimmed baking sheet, and spread melted chocolate evenly on mat. Refrigerate until firm, about 45 minutes.
  • Use parchment to unmold shortbread from pan, and trim edges to create a square. Spread peanut butter evenly on shortbread. Carefully center chocolate, mat side up, on top of peanut butter, and gently peel off mat. Cut shortbread into 1 1/2-inch squares. Shortbread will keep, covered, for up to 3 days.

OLD SCHOOL-DEJA VU CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER SQUARES



Old School-Deja Vu Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares image

Here is one for the chocolate/peanut butter lover, old or young. I say old first; this was served as the dessert on our lunch tray, 1st grade through 12th grade, usually on "Pizza Friday." And one would not think twice by propositioning a trade of their rectangle slice of frozen pizza for your peanut butter square. (This is where that term you learned in social studies class, "bartering", came into good use!) Can be served for up to 12-24 servings; 24 small servings or 12 nice big servings, like the ones served in the cafeteria at Whitehall School District, Pennsylvania. To this day, they are still served! (Prep/cook time does not include chill time).

PUFFED WHEAT SQUARES PEANUT BUTTER OR CHOCOLATE FLAVOUR RECIPE



Puffed Wheat Squares Peanut Butter or Chocolate Flavour Recipe image

Provided by Reneeb

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 c butter
1 c corn syrup
3/4 c Brown sugar
1/4 c peanut butter or cocoa
1 t vanilla
2 t honey
8 c puffed wheat

Steps:

  • Boil at a full rolling boil 2 minutes butter, corn syrup, brown sugar, peanut butter or sifted cocoa. Add vanilla and honey. Remove from heat and add puffed wheat. Stir to coat puffed wheat. Put into greased 9 x 13 pan. Use buttered fingers to move cake into pan.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better your peanut butter chocolate squares will taste. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 60%).
  • Use creamy peanut butter. Creamy peanut butter will give your squares a smooth and creamy texture. If you only have chunky peanut butter, you can blend it in a food processor or blender until it's smooth.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help it hold its shape better in the oven. This will also help prevent the squares from spreading too much.
  • Don't overbake the squares. The squares are done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the squares cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter chocolate squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover peanut butter and chocolate. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of these squares that will be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack or dessert, give peanut butter chocolate squares a try!
