Trisha Yearwoods Peanut Butter Balls Recipes

POWER BALLS

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the oats, peanut butter, honey, chocolate chips, cranberries, sunflower seeds and flax seeds until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Form balls from the mixture (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each) and place them on the baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE-PRETZEL-PEANUT BUTTER SQUARES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, add the melted butter, pretzel crumbs, confectioners' sugar and 1 cup of the peanut butter and stir together until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish. Combine the chocolate chips and the remaining 1/4 cup peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate and peanut butter are melted and smooth; two intervals should be enough. Mix to blend, then spread over the peanut butter-pretzel layer. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before cutting into squares.

BUTTERSCOTCH PEANUT BUTTER BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish with butter.
• Using an electric mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and 1/2 cup of the peanut butter. Add the egg and vanilla. Sift the flour with the baking soda and the salt. Mix the oatmeal into the flour and stir the flour into the creamed mixture. Spread the batter in the baking pan. Sprinkle the butterscotch chips over the batter and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until browned around the edges.
• Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, milk and the remaining 1/4 cup of the peanut butter until smooth, then spread the glaze evenly over the warm bars. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.

PEANUT BUTTER AND ROASTED BANANA PUDDING

Steps:

• For the pudding: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and spray the parchment with cooking spray.
• Thinly slice the bananas crosswise, about 1/8 inch thick. Toss the bananas in a bowl with the cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the bananas start to brown on the edges, about 10 minutes.
• In a saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in the whole eggs and yolks, and then stir in the milk. Cook uncovered, stirring often, until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
• Spread a thin layer of the pudding in a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Arrange a layer of sandwich cookies on top of the pudding, and arrange a third of the roasted banana slices over the cookies. Spread a third of the remaining pudding over the bananas and continue layering cookies, bananas and pudding, ending with pudding, so you have 3 layers total. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Whip together the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer to stiff peaks. Spread over the banana pudding.
• For the ganache: Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat the cream until hot but not simmering. Pour over top of the chocolate and let sit for a minute before stirring to melt and combine. Drizzle the ganache over the pudding. Spoon the pudding into bowls and serve chilled or at room temperature.
