How to Make Peanut Butter Blossoms With Your Kids

How to Make Peanut Butter Blossoms With Your Kids

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 36 milk chocolate kisses

Directions:

Step 1: Grown-ups get ready, kids count

If you’re interested in maintaining any level of sanity, measure the ingredients before your kids get in the kitchen. Not only does this ensure that you’re the only one sneaking spoonfuls of peanut butter, but it’ll also keep your measurements precise.

The first task my little ones, ages 4 and 6, were happy to get involved in was counting out the Hershey’s Kisses to make sure we had enough. Bonus that we also get to set aside extras for snacking in the process.

Preheat your oven to 350° F.

Step 2: Mix together

Gather the kids around the mixing bowl and let them add the butter, peanut butter and sugars. Cream until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. (This is also a perfect time to let them sneak a taste, before adding the egg and flour.)

If you trust an older kid to crack your egg—on a flat surface, preferably!—let ’em do it. Beat in the egg. In another bowl, the kids can sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; beat into the peanut butter mixture.

Step 3: Grownups bake, kids prep and finish

Reserve this step for grownups or older kids, for consistency’s sake. Drop by level tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake until light brown, 10-12 minutes.

While they bake, keep little hands busy with another task: unwrapping the Hershey’s Kisses.

Remove cookies from the oven. Though the recipe instructs us to put the chocolate kisses on the cookies while they’re on the hot baking sheet, clumsy little forearms are likely to get burned reaching over the sides. I recommend moving the cookies to cooling racks immediately, then put the kisses on with light pressure. You can also reserve this task for ages 6 and up.

Peanut Butter Pie
May 7, 2020

Peanut Butter Pie

Ingredients:

For the Chocolate Graham Crust:

  • 1 sleeve chocolate graham crackers*
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 6 tbsp melted butter

For the Peanut Butter Pie Filling:

  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese at room temperature
  • 1 cup peanut butter creamy or crunchy, up to you
  • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar (4 ounces by weight)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream

To Serve:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • chopped peanut butter cups for garnish (about 6 mini, or 2 regular)

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a food processor, pulse together the graham crackers and sugar, until ground. 
  • Add the melted butter, and pulse until evenly moistened, about 10 times.
  • Press the mixture evenly into a 9″ pie plate, pushing the crust about halfway up the sides. 
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, until it looks dry and has lots its sheen, then cool completely on a wire rack.
  • To make the filling, with a hand mixer, beat the mascarpone, peanut butter, confectioner’s sugar, and vanilla extract, until fluffy and light, about 2 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the cream to soft peaks, then gently fold it into the peanut butter mixture in 3 separate installments.
  • Spoon the mixture evenly into the cooled crust, cover with plastic wrap, and chill completely. It will take about 6 hours in the refrigerator, or you can expedite the process by freezing for 2 hours.
  • To serve, whip the 1/2 cup cream and 1 tbsp sugar to soft peaks, and spread over the pie. Garnish with chopped peanut cups, and serve.
  • Note: Make sure the pie is fully chilled before serving, or it will be difficult to slice. Enjoy!
