Chocolate Peanut Butter
|
Peanut Butter Squares
1 cup margarine, melted2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 cups peanut butter
2 lb. powdered sugar
12 oz pkg. chocolate chips
1/2 cup margarine
Place the first four ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Press evenly into a cookie sheet. (A rolling pin will help). Melt the package of chocolate chips and margarine together. Mix well. Spread over peanut butter mixture and allow to cool until dry. Cut into small squares.
Extra Tip: I have a Champion Juicer which works great for crushing nuts into a really natural peanut butter paste. If you want to make these a little more healthy or use different types of nuts, give this a try. You can read more about the Champion Juicer at Best Juicer Reviews.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
1 jar peanut butter (18 oz.)3 cups sugar
1 cup corn syrup, light
1/2 cup water
1 lb. chocolate
1/2 bar paraffin
Scoop peanut butter into large glass or metal bowl and set aside.
Combine sugar, corn syrup and water in heavy saucepan. Heat on low until sugar is dissolved, stirring constantly. Boil, stirring constantly, until candy thermometer reads 290 degrees (soft crack stage).
Pour over peanut butter and stir until well blended. Spread on well buttered baking sheet and cover with buttered wax paper. Roll out into large rectangle. Cut into small bars while still warm (using knife or pizza cutter). Allow to cool completely.
Melt chocolate and paraffin and dip bars into chocolate until covered. Place on wax paper to set.
If you prefer, you can use milk chocolate confectionary coating instead of the chocolate and paraffin.
Special Note: Some chocolate peanut butter candy recipes call for paraffin wax to be melted with the chocolate. This is to help the chocolate set properly. If you would rather not use paraffin wax, you can substitute the wax with a couple of tablespoons of vegetable shortening.
