Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie Bars Recipes

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Crush the cookies until they're fine crumbs. Pour the melted butter over the top and stir with a fork to combine. Press into a pie pan and bake until set, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
• For the filling: Beat the peanut butter with the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Add in the thawed whipped topping and beat until smooth, scraping the sides as needed.
• Pour the filling into the crust, evening out the top with a knife or spatula. Chill for at least an hour before serving.

Steps:

• In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and peanut butter. Heat in the microwave until soft; mix well. Gradually stir in confectioners' sugar until the mixture resembles a soft dough. Spread mixture into 2 pie crusts.
• In a small bowl, mix the milk with the instant pudding. Pour over the peanut butter mixture in each crust. Chill until firm.
• Top pies with whipped topping when ready to serve.

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup and water. Cook and stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved; bring to a full rolling boil. Boil, stirring constantly, until a candy thermometer reads 290° (soft-crack stage)., Meanwhile, place melted peanut butter in a large greased heat- proof bowl. Pour hot syrup over peanut butter; stir quickly until blended. Pour onto a well-buttered baking sheet; cover with a piece of buttered waxed paper. Roll mixture into a 14x12-in. rectangle. While warm, cut into 1-1/2x1-in. bars using a buttered pizza cutter or knife. Cool completely., Melt candy coating; dip bars and place on waxed paper to harden.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter together in a bowl until cracker crumbs are moistened. Press evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 7 minutes.
• Mix peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, honey, and vanilla extract together in a mixing bowl; stir in brown sugar. Fold flour into peanut butter mixture until well incorporated.

Steps:

• Mix crust ingredients and press into a 9x13 greased baking pan (or use 2 8-inch pie pans). Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Remove and cool.
• Microwave peanut butter and butter until soft, mix until well blended. Stir in powdered sugar until soft dough forms. Carefully spread over cooled crust.
• In small bowl, mix milk and pudding mix. Spread over peanut butter layer. Chill until firm, several hours or overnight.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch square pan with cooking spray and line with parchment so that wings come up the sides by 1 inch.
• In a large pot, combine the sugar, corn syrup, vanilla and salt over medium heat and cook until the sugar is melted. Stir in the peanut butter, then the cereal. Pour into the prepared pan and pack it down firmly and evenly with a spatula. Scatter the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips all over the top.
• Bake until the chips are melty, about 3 minutes. Use an offset spatula to spread the melted chips in an even layer all over the top. Sprinkle with flaky salt and sprinkles if using and allow to set at room temperature or in the fridge. Slice into 25 squares.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Make crust first.
• In a small bowl, combine crumbs and melted butter and then pat into a 9" pie plate.
• Bake until firm and solid; 8 minutes.
• Let cool.
• Now make filling.
• In medium-sized bowl, whip cream.
• Place in fridge until you need it.
• Now, in a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until fluffy.
• Next, beat in peanut butter, then butter and vanilla.
• Beat in icing sugar until nice and fluffy.
• Retrieve whipping cream from fridge.
• Fold about one-quarter of the cream into mixture to lighten it up, then fold in remainder of cream.
• Use a light hand-- but you don't want any streaks of cream to show either.
• Fill baked crust with peanut butter mixture.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until it firms up, about 3 hours.
• To make chocolate ganache topping, finely chop chocolate bar (you can substitute 6 squares of semisweet bakers chocolate) and place in a small bowl.

• Pour over chocolate and stir until chocolate melts.
• Let cool, then spread over pie.
• Take the 12 miniature-peanut-butter-cup halves and arrange them evenly around the edge of the pie.
