Happy National Peanut Butter Day 2012

I went on a blog once. I saw an ingredient commemoration day. And I was gone. Now I know that there is National Pancake Day, National S’mores Day, National Ice Cream MONTH!

A very cute idea that, being the patriotic food lover I am, I simply must assist in

My secret, I mean, my normal peanut butter stash

Now, obviously today is the day placing peanut butter on a pedestal – Here are some amazing peanut butter desserts which blow me away:

• Peanut Butter Frosted Rich Chocolate Mudcake
• Flourless, Butterless Peanut Butter Cookies
• Peanut Butter Ganached Peanut Butter Swirled Brownies
• Elvis Oreo Peanut Butter Black Bottom Cupcakes
• Ultimate Peanut Butter Hot Fudge Sundae

And more! Obviously I am a peanut butter obsessed little girl (but only in desserts or sandwiches… mmmmmm)

Unwrapping of the peanut butter cup!

Well today is a school day – I am in my olive skirt right now as I type and really, I do have a mini maths test tomorrow so I can’t exactly churn out a huge cake or even a batch of cookies.

But what I can do is make one giant cookie. And serve it with some ice cream all hot and fudgy out of the oven.

Your ultimate goal in the end...

Warning: Please brace yourself for hot molten peanut butter extravagance

My dinner on Peanut Butter Day – A giant one person Peanut butter M&M studded peanut butter cookie wrapped around a Reese’s peanut butter cup, served hot out of the oven with 5 min Peanut Butter Golden Syrup Banana Soft Serve, drizzled with hot peanut butter fudge sauce laced with caramel, topped with extra crushed peanuts!

One bite will kill you...

How many times did I say ‘peanut butter’? 5 – THERE ARE 5 SOURCES OF PEANUT BUTTER DELICIOUSNESS IN THIS ONE PERSON DESSERT AND 6 SOURCES OF PEANUTS OVERALL

How could it be possible? I made a 6 chocolate source muffin – believe me, it is so possible

Perfectly baked peanut butter candy peanut butter cookie

A perfect commemoration for peanut butter, this is the perfect after school extravagance! Peanut butter is literally flying at you from all directions in each heavenly bite as the soft serve’s creaminess melts with the hot fudge which coats the moist cookie.

And then when you hit the cookie middle and the gooey Reese’s peanut butter cup is revealed, one simply dies. I am not even kidding, it is pure ecstasy

Cross section cut - Can you see the gooey peanut butter in the middle?

Anybody want to come over and try some?
Enjoy and devour my friends!

Ultimate result!

Ingredients

• 2 bananas, roughly chopped
• 1-2 tsp lemon/citric juice (orange also works)
• 2 heaping tbs peanut butter
• 1-2 tbs golden syrup
• 5 tbs crushed sundae peanuts

Frozen stiff!

Method

1. Mix lemon juice and bananas until well coated and freeze overnight
2. Let sit out for 15 minutes at room temperature
3. Place in a food processor and add in peanut butter and golden syrup
   

   Swirls of syrup!

4. Whiz until smooth soft serve consistency
   

   Mmmmm...

5. Stir through peanuts
6. Refreeze until needed (let sit 10-15 min at room temperature before serving for easier scooping)

Note

• This is the health-ier part of this dish…
• If want to make chocolate, add in some melted chocolate or 2 tbs cocoa powder (increase syrup to 2 tbs definitely and add 1 more tbs peanut butter)

The inner mechanisms of this cookie

Ingredients

• 20g butter, melted
• 3 tbs brown sugar
• 3/4 tsp vanilla essence
• 1 1/2 tbs lightly beaten egg
• 1 1/2 tbs heaping peanut butter
• 1/4 cup + 2 tbs plain flour, sifted
• 1/8 tsp baking soda
• 3 tbs Peanut butter M&Ms + reserved 4-5 extra
• 1 regular sized Reese’s peanut butter cup

One big fat crusty bite!

Method

2. Mix butter, sugar, egg, vanilla and peanut butter till smooth consistency
3. Stir in flour and baking soda till few streaks remain
4. Stir in 3 tbs of M&Ms
5. Mould dough into a small circle and press peanut butter cup into it – wrap around the candy
   

   Guess what's inside

6. Place onto baking sheet and press reserved extra M&Ms on top
   

   A little extra love (you have no idea, how many M&Ms which were consumed during making this...)

7. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until edges are golden and cookie is cooked through
8. Let cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes before letting cool completely on a wire rack/eating molten with ice cream

Notes:

• This is utterly decadent and unhealthy
• To make this a chocolate cookie version, use 4 1/2 tbs plain flour and 1 1/2 tbs cocoa powder

• Soft Serve
• Crushed sundae peanuts
