Peanut Butter And Jelly Gift Basket Recipes

PB&J CREPE GIFT BOX RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add the melted butter, sugar, and eggs. Whisk to combine, then add the milk and whisk to incorporate. Sift in the flour and salt and whisk until smooth.
• Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Scoop ¼ cup (60 g) of the batter into the pan. Swirl the pan around until the batter evenly coats the bottom. Cook until the surface begins to bubble slightly and the edges brown, about 3 minutes.
• Flip the crepe and cook on the other side for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Place a crepe on a plate and spread some peanut butter in the center. Fold in the edges to make a small square pouch.
• Top with another crepe, fill with raspberry jam, and fold to make a pouch. Top with one more crepe, fill with peanut butter, and fold.
• Cut another crepe into thin strips, separate the strips, then place a dollop of jam onto the center of each strip and fold each end of the strip to meet the jam in the center. Place the folded strips on top of each other to create a bow.
• Top with a raspberry and place on top of the peanut butter and jam pouches. Repeat with the rest of the crepes.
• Enjoy!

PB & J CUPS

Steps:

• Line 8 cups in a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
• Melt the chocolate in a double boiler (set a heatproof bowl over a saucepan filled with a few inches of simmering water) over medium heat. Stir the chocolate occasionally, until melted, about 5 minutes. Once the chocolate is melted, turn the heat off.
• Meanwhile, add the peanut butter and confectioners' sugar to a mixing bowl. Mix with a hand mixer until well combined. Set the peanut butter mixture aside.
• Spoon 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate into each cupcake liner. Use a 1-tablespoon size cookie scoop to portion the peanut butter mixture on to your hand. If the mixture is too sticky, lightly spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray. Slightly flatten the peanut butter, but make sure to keep it smaller than the base of the muffin cup so that the chocolate can encase it. Place the peanut butter on top of the chocolate, slightly pressing to let the chocolate come slightly up the sides of the peanut butter. Repeat the process to fill all 12 muffin cups.
• Next, use a 1/2-tablespoon size cookie scoop to scoop a portion of jelly on top of the peanut butter. To finish the cups, top the peanut butter and jelly with an additional tablespoon of melted chocolate. Use a spoon to spread the chocolate to completely cover the peanut butter and jelly. Sprinkle each cup with flake salt, if desired. Transfer the muffin tin to the fridge for 30 minutes, until completely set.
• The PB & J cups can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or the freezer for up to 1 month.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY GIFT BASKET

Steps:

• I had the privilege of receiving 5 jars of blackberry jam this past year from my step-daughter. I was so excited to put together these peanut butter and jelly baskets for all my male employees for Christmas. I wasn't sure what the reaction would be, but I will tell you it was a big hit!
• You are going to throw a few pieces of crumpled tissue in the bottom of your basket or use plastic garbage bags. (I got my baskets at the Dollar Store). Then you will add your jar of peanut butter, jelly, loaf of bread and place a knife in the front.
• Add a tag if you wish or a topper to your jelly jar. That is it! You are ready to give your basket of good ol' PB&J. This is a great one for teens as well. If you make one, let me know what the response was. I am sure it will be a hit.
