Pb And J Smores Recipes

PB AND J S'MORES

Steps:

• Build an open fire in a fireplace or in an outdoor firepit.
• Mix the peanut butter and dark chocolate in a small bowl. Set aside. Thread the strawberries onto skewers, 4 halves per skewer, so that the cut sides are facing out. Sprinkle the cut sides of the strawberries with the sugar.
• Place the skewers over the open flame. Cook until the strawberries caramelize, about 3 minutes. Carefully remove the strawberries from the skewers and set aside. Roast the marshmallows on the same skewers, or on long roasting forks.
• Break each graham cracker sheet in half and spread one of each pair with the peanut butter mixture. Add two of the grilled strawberries on top of the peanut butter and then marshmallows on top of that. Sandwich with the other graham cracker halves. Serve warm.

FANCY GRILLED PB AND J

Steps:

• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the bacon to the skillet and cook until not quite crisp, about 2 minutes per side; remove to a plate. Add the onions to the skillet, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any fat. Wipe the skillet and place it back on the heat.
• Begin building the rest of the sandwich: Spread peanut butter on both slices of bread, then spread jam on both slices as well. Place the manchego on one of the slices, then cut the provolone in half and place on top of the manchego. Cut the Swiss cheese in half and place on top of the jam on the other slice. Pile the onions on top of the provolone cheese, followed by the pieces of bacon. Make the sandwich by closing the 2 filled sides of bread together and press slightly to help it all stay together.
• Spread the top of the sandwich with half the mayonnaise. Place the sandwich into the skillet mayonnaise-side down. Spread the rest of the mayonnaise on the top of the sandwich. Fry until the outsides of the sandwich are golden brown and the cheese in the middle is melted, 3 to 4 minutes each side. Cut in half and serve.

PB&J S'MORES QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Spread peanut butter onto half of each tortilla; top with marshmallows, chocolate and bananas. Fold tortillas in half. Spray both sides with cooking spray.
• Cook in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat 2 min. on each side or until chocolate and marshmallows are melted, and quesadillas are golden brown on both sides.
• Cut into wedges; drizzle with jelly.

GRILLED PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH

Steps:

• Heat griddle or skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Spread peanut butter on unbuttered side of one slice of bread, and jelly on the other. Place one slice, buttered side down on the griddle. Top with other slice, so that peanut butter and jelly are in the middle. Cook for 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown, and heated through.

PEANUT BUTTER S'MORES COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar together in a large bowl. Mix in eggs and vanilla until combined. Add flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, and salt; mix well. Stir in peanut butter chips. Cover and refrigerate dough for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls and drop on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each to allow cookies to spread.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 6 minutes. Remove from the oven. Push 3 to 5 mini marshmallows into the center of each cookie, along with a few pieces of chopped peanut butter cups. Return to the oven and bake until cookies are golden brown and marshmallows are a bit toasted, 2 to 3 more minutes.
• Cool on the baking sheet briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

TRADITIONAL PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY

Steps:

• Spread the peanut butter on one piece of bread.
• Spread the jelly on the other side.
• Put the two pieces of bread together to form a sandwich.
• Toddler adaptation: cut off crusts before serving.
