GOURMET PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Prepare peanut butter sandwich using desired jelly or jam . Make sure it isn't too runny because the sandwich will be heated and jam could leak out.
• Heat a frying pan to melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Tilt pan so butter covers pan evenly. This is key to get a perfectly crispy crust on the bread.
• Butter one side of sandwich. Place buttered-side down in the pan. If possible, place a steak weight or bacon press on sandwich so it cooks evenly. When one side is golden brown, butter other side. Turn sandwich over and place weight back on sandwich. The second side will cook faster because sandwich is already heated.
• Remove sandwich from pan, cut diagonally and serve immediately. Looking for other ways to perk up your beloved PB&J? Here are some other ways to enjoy this common childhood favorite:

PEANUT BUTTER AND BANANA SANDWICH

Steps:

• Spread peanut butter side to side, evenly on 1 side of each piece of bread. Slice banana in 3/4-inch slices and place on 1 piece of bread with peanut butter. Banana slices should be close together, and cover 1 side completely (usually 9 slices). Top with the other slice of bread.
• Heat butter in saute pan on medium heat. Place sandwich in pan and brown for approximately 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown. Add 2 ounces of butter to the pan and flip sandwich to other side and continue cooking for 2 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and peanut butter is melting. Cut into quarters and serve very hot.

DELUXE PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICH COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare sheets of foil for cookies to cool on.
• 2. Combine peanut butter, shortening, sugar, milk and vanilla. Beat until well blended. Add egg and beat just until blended (do not over beat, it makes cookies tough).
• 3. Combine flour, salt and baking soda. Sift, or if you do not own a sifter, just whisk it really well, until you are sure it is well integrated.
• 4. Add to creamed mixture at low speed. Mix just until well blended. Place round balls (about 2-2 1/2" in diameter for big cookies onto an un-geased cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Try to make the balls uniform in size. Flatten with the tines of a fork, going vertical and crossing over horizontally (trademark of peanut butter cookies). Flatten each cookie to about 3/8" thick. Bake for 10-13 minutes until barely set and edges just almost brown. Remove from oven and allow to rest on sheets for about 2 minutes. Remove to foil sheets to continue cooling (cookies will continue to cook a little after being removed from the oven, on the cookie sheets and on the foil.
• 5. Frosting Filling: 1/2 cup butter, a little softened, but not a lot 2 3/4 cups powdered sugar 3/4 cup cocoa powder (I use Hershey's) 1/2 cup evaporated milk (not condensed) pinch of salt
• 6. For Frosting: Beat butter until smooth. Whisk together thoroughly the baking cocoa, and salt with the powdered sugar. Add the cocoa mixture and beat, adding some milk alternately. End with dry mixture. Add a very little more milk if desired to preferred consistency. A little bit thick is best for sandwich cookies, to prevent dripping and oozing.
• 7. Make sandwich cookies, by frosting one cookie generously, but about 1/4 an inch from the edge all around. Place a similar sized cookie on top and press gently. Voila!

DELUXE PEANUT BUTTER & HONEY SANDWICH

Steps:

• Mix the peanut butter and honey together, and spread on one slice of bread.
• Sprinkle raisins over peanut butter, layer apple slices on top and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.
• Toast in George Foreman grill, panini grill or frying pan until the bread is toasty and the peanut butter is a little gooey.

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER SHEET PAN ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place a rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Generously coat a 18x13" rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray . Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let cool slightly.
• Whisk together cocoa powder, kosher salt, baking powder, and 1½ cups sugar in a medium bowl. Drizzle in butter; reserve saucepan. Whisk until butter is incorporated, then add vanilla and 2 eggs and whisk until batter is glossy and smooth. Add 1¼ cup flour and whisk until no dry streaks remain.
• Melt remaining ¼ cup (½ stick) butter in reserved saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat, add peanut butter, and whisk until smooth. Whisk in remaining 1 egg and ½ cup sugar, then add remaining ½ cup flour and whisk until smooth.
• Pour chocolate batter into prepared pan and, using a rubber spatula or your fingers, smooth into an even layer, spreading all the way to the corners and sides; the batter will be quite thin. Dollop peanut butter batter over chocolate batter and press into an even layer. Sprinkle sea salt on top.
• Bake cookies until top looks dry and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 14-17 minutes (cookies will seem too soft, but they'll firm up as they cool). Let cookies cool in baking sheet, then use a sharp knife to cut into 32 pieces (8 across on long sides and 4 down on short sides). Carefully remove pieces from pan with a thin spatula.
• Meanwhile, line a rimmed 13x9" rimmed baking sheet or baking dish with plastic wrap, layering sheets both lengthwise and crosswise and leaving a few inches of overhang on all sides. Transfer softened ice cream to prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Fold overhang up and over the top and freeze ice cream until firm, at least 1 hour.
• When you're ready to assemble sandwiches, use plastic overhang to transfer frozen ice cream block to a cutting board. Working quickly, cut into 16 pieces (4 across on long sides and 4 down on short sides-mirroring half of the cookie slicing method above). Sandwich each ice cream rectangle between 2 cookies, arranging cookies top side out and place on a baking sheet. Freeze until firm all the way through, then transfer sandwiches to an airtight container or individually wrap in foil. Keep frozen until ready to serve.
