2 Ingredient Cookie Dough

The first mistake that you could make with this recipe is to think that these look like a certain something or other and taste horrid.

You'd be wrong, and you'd be missing out.

Unless, you don't like peanut butter or have a nut allergy, then you have an excuse, but these are delish.

So delish, that I've just tucked into my 2nd batch.

 

5 Tbsp peanut butter, I use Meridian because it has no Palm oil or added sugar

Approx 8 Tbsp raisins, maybe more or it may be less

2 Tbsp peanuts, preferably unsalted but salted are easier to find!

Blend the raisins and peanut butter in a blended until a ball forms, you may need more or less raisins to do this, then add your peanuts... Simple!

Dollop all of your mixture onto some grease proof paper or baking paper, roll it up into a tube then roll it in the tube so it becomes cylendrical.

Pinch a few bits here and there, you know, just to taste..

You could eat it like that, but I popped it in the fridge over night so it would harden, then i sliced it into disks this morning, oh my goodness, the raisins went hard like little chewy things and before I knew it I had eaten the whole lot.
I really have gone nuts for them. (I couldn't not, sorry)

If, unlike me, you are more restrained with your peanut butter snaffling, you could pop them into lunch boxes as a snack because they're so full of energy, and not only that, they fight depression, and lower the risk of weight gain!

 Woohoo for happy, slimming peanut bites!

Reece's Cookies

This is so easy, it shouldn't really be classified as a recipe.
After a trip to ASDA and finding out that they have loads of American food in there, my boyfriend and I waddled off home with our arms full, and one of the things we bought were these,

To make these all you'll need are some Reece's mini peanut butter cups and either some ready-mix cookie dough or some of your own cookie dough.

If you're going with the former, simply follow the directions on the box,

Take about a tablespoonful and wrap it around a peanut butter cup,

Disappointingly my bag of Betty Crocker only allowed for 6, hey ho!

Take them out after the allotted time, don't move them until they have cooled otherwise you risk dropping your cup out the bottom, and that would be a shame, seeing as that's the best bit.

Peanut Butter Bites

My boyfriend plays a lot of sport, and in an attempt to play the role of the "doting girlfriend" I made these as post-match snacks.

These babies only need a few ingredients:

Base:
50 g soft dark brown sugar
200g icing sugar
200g smooth peanut butter
50g butter

Topping:
200g milk chocolate
100g dark chocolate
1 tbsp melted butter

First add the two sugars,

Add your peanut butter and butter, and keep mixing until it looks like gravelly rubble, at which point empty it out into a brownie tin.

Then squash it down with the back of a spoon or your fingers and spread your melted chocolate mixture on top.

Sprinkles optional.

A word to the wise, cut them up into 1 inch squares because they're very rich and very morish.
