Chocolate And Peanut Butter Crispy Bars Recipes

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER CRISPY BARS

Steps:

• To make the bottom layer: Heat a medium-sized saucepan under medium-low heat. Add honey and peanut butter, and mix well. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the cereal, wheat germ or flax seeds, oats, and dark cocoa powder until well combined. Transfer the mixture into a square baking pan (8-by 8-inch or 9-by-9-inch) lined with parchment paper, press firmly. To make the middle layer: Add the peanut butter into a medium bowl. Process the coconut flakes in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer to the bowl with peanut butter, stir with a wooden spoon until well mixed. Place the mixture over the bottom layer, smooth the surface with a wooden spatula until the bottom layer is completely and evenly covered. Place in the refrigerator until it sets, about 1 hour; or freeze for about 20 minutes. To make the top layer: Melt the chocolate in a medium bowl over a saucepan over boiling water (double boiler method). Stir until smooth and spread melted chocolate over the second layer with a rober spatular. Allow chocolate layer to cool to room temperature, then put in the refrigerator for about 1 hour until it sets completely. When it sets, take it out of the frige, lift the parchment paper out of the pan, and place on a cutting board. Cut into small squares. Put the squares in an air-tight container and keep it refrigerated.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CRISPY BARS

Steps:

• Line an 8-inch square baking dish with a strip of parchment paper, cut to fit neatly across the base and up opposite sides. In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown rice crisps and 1 cup of the chopped pecans (reserve the rest for sprinkling on top). Set both aside.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter and honey. Warm the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring often, until it's steaming or you catch a bubble or two forming on the bottom, about 5 minutes. (We don't want this mixture to come to a boil or the peanut butter could scorch.)
• Pour the warm mixture into the bowl of rice crisps. Using a rubber or silicone spatula, stir until the mixture is completely combined. Transfer it all to the lined baking dish. Press down with the spatula to spread it fairly evenly, then switch to a large, sturdy glass with a flat bottom (maybe a working jar or mason jar or what-have-you) and press down firmly all over, including the corners. You really want to pack it down (it's ok if you hear some crunching noises). Lastly, use your hands to ensure that it's evenly compacted.
• Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring after each one. Don't overdo it. The chocolate is done when it's about 90% melted-keep stirring off the heat and the pieces should completely dissolve. (Alternately, you can use melt it in a heat-proof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water.)
• Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter-crispy mixture. Use a clean spatula to spread it evenly all over. Make some pretty chocolate swooshes if you'd like. Sprinkle the remaining pecans on top, followed by the salt.
• Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or up to a day. To slice, carefully grab both sides of the parchment paper and lift it out of the baking dish. Use a sharp chef's knife to make 4 even columns and 4 even rows-to minimize the risk of cracking the chocolate, carefully apply even pressure from above the knife to press straight down, rather than sawing from one edge across.
• These bars will keep well at room temperature for up to 1 week, or for several months in the freezer. Store in an air-tight container either way.
