CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CANDY

During the Eid holidays (last week), my husband asked me to join with him to visit his friend’s home in a quite short notice.  Being a food blogger, (?) I do not want to buy something from bakery or sweet shop. At the same time, want to do something quick, special. 

What else, I can offer other than  CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CANDY

I have left with just 60 min to do this. Hence, the ingredients are: a Cup of Milk chocolate chips  ;  ½ cup  of Peanut butter  ;  3/4 cup Roasted  Peanuts   ;  1 tsp Butter  ;  5 - 6 tbsp of Melted White Chocolate (optional)

Procedure : Melt chocolate chip in a microwave at low power for about 50 sec. (Please bear in mind each model of micro wave power is different all it depends on the Magnatron’s power output) make sure, it should be in semi-solid consistence.

Now add peanut butter and mix slowly till it blends well. 

Add, 1 tsp butter (for a glossy look),  roasted peanuts to the chocolate mixture and keep aside.

Take silicon cupcake moulds spread ½ tsp white chocolate randomly and then pour 2 tbsp of peanut chocolate mixture into it. Make sure. The mixture spread evenly. (tapping the mould may help) and keep it in fridge for about 30 min.

Peanut Butter Cookies

After receiving a good number of requests for cookies, I am posting one of the best cookie recipe and by that, I really mean it.

My friends and family always request me for this Peanut Butter Cookies, it everyone’s favorite.  I am sure, you will also LOVE it.

The roasted oats, peanut butter and the brown sugar are the magic ingredients that make this cookie very special.

This cookie can delight you not only your taste buds, also your health too. It’s my son’s favorite pre workout snack. Just 2-3 cookie and cup of milk / juice is enough as a breakfast, for a busy day.

Here is the ingredients list  :  100 gms + few tbsp  of Unsalted butter @ room temp   ;   1 cup of Oats   ;   1 cup + few tbsp. of All Purpose flour    ;    1 tsp of Baking soda    ;     1 tsp of Salt     ;     1/3 cup of Sugar      ;    1/2 cup (packed) of Dark brown sugar     ;     1/2 cup of Peanut butter.

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add oats and stir until it is roasted (about 5 minutes). I just love the roasted oats flavor.  Allow the Roasted oats to cool.

In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

Blend butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add peanut butter and mix until well combined. Then add oats mixture and flour mixture blend with your kitchen aid at low speed until thoroughly combined.

Turn dough into cling wrap roll out as log shape. Refrigerate until chilled, about 20 minutes. Later, cut out cookies about 2’’ thick. Place cookies 1” apart on prepared baking sheets / tray.

Bake the cookies in preheat oven at 230°C for 10 min then reduce it to 180°C till the cookies become gold-brown in colour.  Allow it to cool and transfer in to air tight container.

As I mentioned earlier, Peanut Butter Cookies are very tempting kind. It’s difficult to resist just by one cookie…….!
