• Put balls on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

FROZEN CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER POPS

Steps:

• Put 4 ounces chocolate in a medium bowl. Bring 1/2 cup heavy cream to a simmer in a small saucepan; pour over the chocolate and let sit 5 minutes. Add the vanilla and salt and whisk until smooth; set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Combine the remaining 1 cup heavy cream, the confectioners' sugar and peanut butter in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Fold the peanut butter whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture in three batches until just incorporated but still airy. Freeze until the mixture is firm enough to scoop, about 30 minutes.
• Lightly coat a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop or tablespoon with cooking spray. Scoop balls of the frozen mousse onto a parchment-lined baking sheet (about 1 heaping tablespoon per ball). Gently press a lollipop stick halfway into each ball. Freeze until firm, at least 1 hour.

CHOCOLATE COVERED PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE POPS

Steps:

• For the cheesecake: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line a 8 by 8-inch baking pan with foil letting long flaps overlap on each side. Spray foil with nonstick spray.
• Break up the brown sugar to remove all lumps. In a standing mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and sugar on medium speed until very smooth. Add the cream and beat slowly; then add the yolks and vanilla mixing until just combined. Gently stir in peanut butter. Take care not to over beat the mixture; this incorporates too much air and causes the cheesecake to crack.
• Pour and evenly spread the batter in the prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Open the oven to release some heat, then lower the temperature to 200 degrees F. Continue to bake the cheesecake until the outside is set but the center is still loose, for about 45 minutes. Turn off the oven, and cool cheesecake in the oven for 45 more minutes. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Lift cheesecake from the pan by lifting up the foil. Transfer to a cutting board. Cut into
• 1 1/2-inch cubes. Stick a wooden pop stick halfway into each bar and freeze for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, put the shortening and chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl over, but not touching, the water. Stir the chocolate occasionally until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. (Alternatively, put the chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Melt at 50 percent power in the microwave until soft, about 1 minute. Stir, and continue to heat until completely melted, about 1 minute more.)
• Dip the pops into the chocolate mixture, and stand on waxed paper to set, about 5 minutes. Serve cold (straight from the fridge), or freeze up to 2 weeks. Frozen pops make a cool summer treat, or can be allowed to temper for 10 minutes at room temperature before serving.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CUPS

Steps:

• Set 18 mini paper baking cups on a baking sheet. Melt 4 ounces of the chocolate either over a double boiler on the stove top or in short bursts in the microwave. Spoon 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into each cup. Use an offset spatula or a small spoon to spread the chocolate slightly up the sides of each baking cup; make sure you have an even chocolate base at the bottom of each cup. Let cool at room temperature for about 15 to 20 minutes until mostly solid.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt. (Make sure the peanut butter is well-combined in the jar before you measure it.) Transfer the peanut butter mixture to a resealable plastic bag and seal it tightly.
• Cut one corner of the plastic bag and pipe 2 to 3 teaspoons of peanut butter mixture into the center of each cup. With a very lightly moistened finger, tamp down the peanut butter and make it flat and even, but leave a bit of space between the peanut butter and the edge of the paper cup (you should be able to see a ring of chocolate peeking from below the peanut butter).
• Melt the remaining 5 ounces of chocolate. Spoon 1 teaspoon of chocolate onto the top of each cup. Use an offset spatula or a small spoon to spread the chocolate evenly over the top and down the sides of the cup. Refrigerate until solid, about 30 minutes.

PEANUT BUTTER CAKE POPS RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Once the cake is cooled, crumble half of it into a large bowl (cover, wrap, and freeze the other half for later. A full cake makes a LOT of cake pops.) Add 1/4 cup of frosting to the cake mixture. Use a fork to work the frosting through. Continue adding frosting by the tablespoonful, JUST until the cake mixture starts to stick together. It shouldn't feel wet at all, but should adhere to itself in a playdoh like texture. In a small bowl, mix together the peanut butter and powdered sugar. Take about 1/2 teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture into your hands and roll it into a ball. Take about a tablespoon of cake mixture and press it into a sort of bowl shape. Place the peanut butter ball into the center of the cake ball, then gently close the cake ball around the peanut butter, until the peanut butter ball is fully hidden and enclosed inside the cake ball. Roll the cake ball until it looks round. In a small, deep, microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips JUST until they are melted (usually about 90 seconds or so). Stir until smooth. Press the end of a lollipop stick into the melted chocolate, then press that end into the center of your cake ball. Take a small spoonful of melted chocolate and carefully smooth it around the bottom part of the stick and cake ball. This step isn't neccesary, but it's the best what I've found to keep the stick from pulling out of the cake ball. Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature. Gently dip the cake ball into the melted chocolate. Allow any excess chocolate to drizzle back into the bowl before pressing the top of the cake pop into crushed peanuts. Turn the cake pop right side up and press the bottom of the lollipop stick into a piece of styrofoam. Allow the cake pops to cool upright until ready to serve. Once chocolate is hardened, serve the cake pops, or cover them and store them in the fridge for up to three days. Enjoy!
