Welcome

I am addicted to cooking and baking. I love to find and make delicious recipes. Sometimes I create my own and I post them here. Other times I find a recipe and adapt it. I have posted those recipes here as well. Enjoy.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICHES



Ingredients:
1 ½ cups smooth peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon butter, softened
2  (11.5 oz) bags of chocolate chips, divided (I used Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips)

Items needed:
1 baking sheet
Parchment paper
Baking spray
Heavy sauce pan or double boiler
Silicone, plastic or rubber spatula
(a space in the freezer to accommodate the baking sheet)

Directions:

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.  Lightly spray parchment paper with baking spray.  Melt  1 bag of chocolate chips on low heat – stirring constantly, just until it is completely melted.  Continue stirring after removing from heat.  With a spatula, spread the chocolate into a ¼” layer on the prepared baking sheet.  Place the melted chocolate in the freezer for about 10 minutes or until set.    Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar and butter.  Mix until combined.  Remove the baking pan with the chocolate layer from the freezer.  Spread the peanut butter generously over the chocolate.  Return to the freezer.  Melt  the second bag of chocolate chips on low heat – stirring constantly, just until it is completely melted.  Continue stirring after removing from heat.  Remove the baking sheet from the freezer.  With a spatula, spread the chocolate over the peanut butter layer.  Return to the freezer.  Let set (about 15 minutes).  Cut into squares with a food scraper, kitchen utility scissors, etc.  It will not cut into perfect squares, but do the best you can.  It will taste delicious, though.
