Yes, you heard me right. These little nuggets are at once daring and decadent. Not to mention delicious.
Pull out a double boiler and melt your chocolate chips. Layer in muffin cups with peanut butter.
Do yourself (and your guests) a favor. Get some of that amazingly delicious bacon made from the happy pigs on organic farms. No hormones or antibiotics. Fry it to slightly crisp but pliable. I cut my peanut butter cups half, then wrapped in Fischer Farms bacon. Bliss…
Yeah, you could call this sammy the trashy younger cousin of pesto (the always dashing and classy attraction of many a meal). But if you start with good ingredients — namely a fresh baguette and flavorful basil — you’ll see this sweet sammy has some depth beneath its childish charisma. Who knows, it could become a favorite of 5 and 50-year-olds alike.
What you need:
What to do:
Cut bread in half. Crush and chop garlic and rub on insides of bread. Slather peanut butter on the bottom half. Lay basil on top. If you want to add some sass to your sammy, pour balsamic vinegar or spread harissa on the top half of the bread before closing the sandwich. Enjoy!
Are you licking your computer screen yet?
This amazingly delectable tidbit can be desert or part of a healthy breakfast. I’m not kidding. Dark dark chocolate is high in iron and low in sugar. Peanut butter is rich in vitamins, minerals and unsaturated (good) fat. Jelly, well, that’s to sweeten things up.
Bottom line, this tiny sammy has lots of stuff that’s good for you — but it’s still a treat. Enjoy!
Yeah, we’re grown-ups .. but do we have to give up all the pleasures of childhood? Try this spicy pb & j and you won’t miss being a kid.
pb & J puts the moves on harissa.
Remember Shel Silverstein’s young king with the self-destructive appetite for peanut butter? Smart man. The sticky stuff has been a lifelong passion for many, especially paired with its faithful sidekick, jelly.
Sometimes, though, the idea of a pb & j is, well, yawn-inspiring. Call me jaded, call me a grouch. I want my sandwich to bring a little thrill.
Enter Tunisian chili-pepper spread, harissa. The stuff packs a well-rounded kick just begging to be paired with jelly’s sweet touch and a nut butter’s smooth body. Between two slices of fresh artisanal bread, this is a threesome you’ll want to get to know.
