Anti Bullying Dodge Ball Cupcakes Aka Peanut Butter And Jelly Recipes

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY CUPCAKES

Steps:

• For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line muffin pans with paper liners.
• In a medium bowl, cream together the sugars and oil. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in the milk and peanut butter until the batter is smooth. Then scoop the batter into the liners. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The cupcakes are done when they spring back to the touch. Let cool.
• For the mousse frosting: Using an electric mixer, beat the peanut butter and cream cheese in a large bowl to blend. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until well blended. Using clean, dry beaters, beat the whipping cream in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold into the peanut butter mixture in four additions.
• To assemble: You will need to utilize a small teaspoon or butter knife to cut out the center of the cupcakes. Once you have removed about 1/2 inch of the center, add some jelly to the middle of the cupcake directly from the jar. It is easier to use the jelly that comes in a squeezable container or you may just use a small spoon.
• Top the cupcakes with peanut butter mousse frosting.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease a 9 by 13 by 2-inch cake pan. Line it with parchment paper, then grease and flour the pan.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light yellow, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the vanilla, eggs, and peanut butter and mix until all ingredients are combined.
• In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture. Mix just until combined.
• Spread 2/3 of the dough into the prepared cake pan and spread over the bottom with a knife or offset spatula. Spread the jam evenly over the dough. Drop small globs of the remaining dough evenly over the jam. Don't worry if all the jam isn't covered; it will spread in the oven. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and bake for 45 minutes, until golden brown. Cool and cut into squares.

GRILLED PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY

Steps:

• For the brioche: In a stand up mixer using the dough hook attachment, put the flour, granulated sugar, yeast, salt, milk and eggs. Turn the mixer on low speed and mix for about 4 minutes. Turn up the mixer to medium speed and mix for an extra 8 minutes. Turn the mixer back to low and gradually add the butter 2 tablespoons at a time. Once all the butter has been incorporated, place in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
• Punch down the dough, and cut into 2 equal pieces. Place in 2 well-greased loaf pans, about 3 inches by 5 inches, and let the dough rise at room temperature until doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Turn out on to a cooling rack and let cool.
• For the spicy pomegranate jelly: Mix together the pectin with the 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar. In a 2-quart saucepan, bring the pomegranate puree to a boil. Slowly add the pectin sugar mix to the pomegranate, stirring constantly. Add the remaining 2 cups granulated sugar in three parts. Add the corn syrup, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture up to 215 degrees F on a candy thermometer and sprinkle in the citric acid. At this point you will need to pour this directly into a tray with a silicone mat, or into silicone molds of your choice. Let the jelly set, and then either cut the jelly to the desired shape, or pop it out of the molds. Next, mix together the cane sugar and chili powder and dip the jelly into the mix. Set aside.
• For the hazelnut crunch butter: Melt together the chocolate chips and butter; stir in the hazelnut paste. Add the wafer flakes and hazelnuts and set aside.
• To assemble: Slice the brioche into 1/2-inch slices. Spread one side of the bread with the hazelnut crunch butter. Place a square of jelly on top and place another slice of bread on top. Grill lightly in butter, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
