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.

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pans

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter
1 cup light brown sugar

Categories     Candy     Milk/Cream     Chocolate     Dessert     Christmas     Peanut     Winter     Chill     Edible Gift     Double Boiler     Bon Appétit     Colorado

Yield Makes about 80 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 5

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 pound good-quality white chocolate (such as Lindt or Baker's)
1 cup extra-crunchy peanut butter
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup whipping cream

Steps:

  • Line 9x9x2-inch baking pan with foil, leaving overhang. Spray foil with nonstick spray. Combine white chocolate and peanut butter in medium metal bowl. Set bowl over saucepan of barely simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water). Stir until chocolate melts and mixture is blended. Spread mixture evenly in prepared pan; freeze until almost firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place chocolate chips and cream in another medium metal bowl. Set over same saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water). Stir until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Spread chocolate mixture evenly over peanut butter mixture. Refrigerate until very firm, at least 3 hours. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.)
  • Using foil as aid, lift candy out of pan. Cut into 1-inch squares; serve cold.

Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the final product will be. Use high-quality white chocolate, peanut butter, and butter.
  • Don't overcook the white chocolate: It can easily burn, so keep a close eye on it while it's melting.
  • Let the white chocolate mixture cool slightly before adding the peanut butter: This will help prevent the peanut butter from seizing.
  • Use a large pan to press the mixture into: This will make it easier to cut into squares.
  • Chill the squares thoroughly before cutting them: This will help them hold their shape.
  • Store the squares in an airtight container in a cool place: They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

White Chocolate Peanut Butter 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 white chocolate and peanut butter. With their rich, creamy flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture, these squares are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
