Open in Pepper →Peanut Butter Belongs In Everything Sweet
Peanut butter is the one thing already in the pantry when you need something sweet by tonight. It turns a jar, a stick of butter, and some sugar into cookies or candy without a trip to the store.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection when the kids want a treat after supper, when a potluck plate needs filling, or when it's too hot to run the oven for long.
Every recipe here leans on that jar: chocolate-peanut butter cookies, 3 ingredient peanut butter cookies, no bake peanut butter pie, buckeye balls, coconut peanut butter balls, crispy chocolate peanut butter bars, and Nutter Butter truffles for when you want something a little fancier.
Quick Tips
- 1
Use regular creamy peanut butter
Natural peanut butter separates and can make no-bake balls and bars greasy or crumbly. Stick with a standard creamy jar for the firmest set.
- 2
Chill balls before dipping
Freeze rolled peanut butter balls 20 to 30 minutes before dipping in chocolate so they hold their shape and don't fall off the fork.
- 3
Pull cookies looking underdone
Peanut butter cookies firm up as they cool, so take them out at 9 to 10 minutes while the centers still look soft.
- 4
Crush cookies fine
For truffles, pulse the sandwich cookies to fine crumbs, about 30 seconds, so the mixture rolls smooth instead of lumpy.
