CRUNCHY FRIED PB AND J

• Place the eggs and cereal in separate shallow bowls. Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Dip a sandwich in the eggs, then the cinnamon cereal, pressing down to make sure the cereal adheres to both sides. Repeat with the other sandwiches.
• In batches, fry the sandwiches low and slow until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side, adding more butter to the pan as needed. Cut the sandwiches in half on the diagonal and serve.

FRIED PB & J

Steps:

• Combine rhubarb, sugar, lemon juice, honey, and water together in a saucepan over high heat; cook and stir until rhubarb softens to a pulp, 5 to 10 minutes. Add strawberries and cook until strawberries fall apart and most of the liquid is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and cool jam for 10 minutes.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Measuring out in 1/2 tablespoons, spoon 14 portions of jam and 14 portions of peanut butter onto the prepared baking sheet. Cover baking sheet with plastic wrap and freeze until fillings are solid, 3 hours to overnight.
• Roll dough onto a lightly floured piece of parchment paper, pressing dough together at the seams. Seal the seams together and slightly flatten dough by rolling a lightly floured rolling pin over it. Cut 28 circles out of dough using a 2-inch cookie cutter. Arrange the circles on the parchment paper.
• Place 1 jam and 1 peanut butter filling onto the center of 14 dough circles. Place a second circle of dough over the filling, rolling up the edges of the bottom circle and crimping together to seal. Arrange crescent pockets on a baking sheet and freeze.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Fry crescent pockets, 3 at a time, in the hot oil using a small wooden spoon to flip them continuously until golden, about 1 minute per side. Transfer pockets to a paper towel-lined plate.

P B AND J STACKS

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, heat jam and syrup over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warm.

PB&J STUFFED CUPCAKES

Steps:

• For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
• Beat the butter and sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment at medium speed until creamy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then, beat in the vanilla.
• Stir together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. In three additions, beat the flour mixture into the creamed butter mixture, alternating with additions of the milk, starting and ending with flour.
• Divide the batter evenly into the paper liners, filling them two-thirds full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the frosting.
• For the peanut butter frosting: Beat the butter and peanut butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment at medium speed until creamy. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until smooth. Add the milk, vanilla and salt, and beat until smooth and spreadable. Spoon the frosting into a pastry bag or zip-top bag fitted with a star tip.
• To finish the cupcakes, cut a small cylinder out of the center of each cupcake with a knife or cupcake corer, reserving the cake circles for another use. Spoon the grape jelly into a pastry bag and pipe a small amount into each hole. Pipe the frosting on top of each cupcake and decorate with purple sprinkles.

PBJ THUMBPRINT BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180ºC (160ºC Fan) 350ºF, Gas Mark 4. Lightly grease your 23 x 33cm (9 x 13in) baking tin and line with a strip of parchment paper that overhangs the long sides, securing it in place with metal clips.
• Place the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and whisk together.
• Place the butter, sugars and peanut butter in a separate large bowl and beat with an electric mixer for about 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and beat briefly to combine. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the flour mixture and beat on a low speed until evenly combined.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared tin and spread evenly. Using a small spoon, or the handle of a wooden spoon, make lots of little holes over the surface of the dough, then fill them with jam. Sprinkle over the chopped peanuts, trying to avoid the jam.
• Bake for about 35 minutes, or until set and firm around the edges. Set aside to cool completely in the tin. Use the parchment paper to carefully lift the bars from the tin, then use a sharp knife to cut into pieces.
• For the topping, mix together the white chocolate and peanut butter and drizzle over the bars, using a spoon or a piping bag.
• Stored in a sealed container, these will keep for 3-4 days.

GRILLED PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH
