SUNNY'S EASY PB AND J FROZEN BANANAS
Steps:
- Line a plate or baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil. Push an ice pop stick in the center of each piece of banana, but not all the way through to the end. Stir the jam to loosen, then brush it all over each banana. Place the bananas on the lined plate and freeze until solid, about 2 hours.
- Line another plate with nonstick aluminum foil. Pour the ice cream sauce in a coffee mug or small bowl. Remove the bananas from the freezer and quickly dip each in the ice cream sauce to completely coat. Before the shell forms, place the banana on the newly prepared plate and sprinkle each with one of the toppings. Freeze until solid, 5 to 10 minutes.
SUNNY'S CHOCOLATE PB AND J SHAKE
Steps:
- In a blender, add the ice cream, peanut butter and milk and blend until smooth. Drizzle jam on the inside of 2 glasses. Pour the shake in and top with whipped cream, chopped peanuts, more jam and a cherry.
SUNNY'S HOLIDAY PB AND J THUMBPRINTS
To give her cookies holiday sparkle, Sunny Anderson rolls them in turbinado sugar, a large-grained sugar with a mild molasses flavor. As the cookies cool, the sugar forms a crisp crackly outer layer on the cookie, too.

Steps:
- In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar, and blend on medium-high speed until creamy. Turn off the mixer and use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl, pushing everything back towards the center. Then add the salt, vanilla and egg, and blend until combined. Lower the speed of the mixer and add the flour in 1/2-cup intervals. Between each addition be sure to completely blend in all the flour and scrape the sides as before. Once completely combined, scrape the dough out of the mixer, add to a container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator and, using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and roll into a ball between your hands. Then roll the formed ball in the turbinado sugar and place on the prepared baking sheets. Repeat for the rest of the balls, making sure to separate them on the sheet by about 1 inch. Try chopping roasted peanuts and adding them to the sugar before rolling out all the balls or add a drop of food coloring to the sugar to make the cookies even more festive!
- Once all the balls are on the baking sheet, make an indentation in the center of each using the rounded end of a wooden spoon, the back of a rounded teaspoon or your good old-fashioned thumb. Fill the center of each with about 1/2 teaspoon strawberry preserves. Bake until lightly golden, about 12 minutes. Remove to a wire rack. Let cool before serving.
PEANUT BUTTER-STUFFED APPLE
When you're on the move, sandwich the stuffed apple halves together and wait to slice them into wedges at your destination; this will help keep the peanut butter on the apple -- rather than all over your storage container.

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples that will hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
- Core the apples carefully: Use a sharp knife to core the apples, taking care not to cut through the bottom. You can use an apple corer to make this task easier.
- Stuff the apples evenly: Divide the peanut butter and jelly mixture evenly among the apples. You can also add other fillings, such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit.
- Bake the apples until tender: Bake the apples in a preheated oven until they are tender when pierced with a fork. The baking time will vary depending on the size of the apples.
- Serve the apples warm or cold: PB&J stuffed apples can be served warm or cold. They are a great snack, breakfast, or dessert.
