    Giant Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup

    What makes classic peanut butter filling in chocolate cups irresistible is the edge of salt against sweet. That and a texture that hovers between creamy and crumbly. To get more peanutty goodness—and a tastier homemade version of it—blitz up peanuts, sugar, and salt and stuff it into a huge tart pan lined with chocolate. It's as addictive as the original with a freshness from just-ground peanuts.

    Giant Chocolate Candy Bar with Peanuts and Nougat

    The iconic chocolate bar of peanut-studded caramel and nougat is all about chewiness. Transforming that small bite into a giant layered treat means keeping the same flavors, but whipping up nougat fluffy enough to eat by the forkful with soft peanut-studded caramel.

    Quinoa PB&J Cookies

    This classic combination, in cookie form, is not to be missed. The texture of these cookies is similar to shortbread: crumbly, sandy, and fine. Serve them with a tall glass of cold milk for a walk down memory lane.

    Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies

    This family favorite pairs the winning combination of chocolate and peanut butter. Almond extract enhances the nuttiness of the cookie, but the more standard vanilla can also be used. Natural peanut butter won't work for these cookies, but chunky or freshly ground will. Best of all, they're sealed with a kiss.

    Elvis-Inspired Peanut Butter Banana Waffles

    Peanut Cookies

    So these aren't technically a peanut butter dessert, but we don't think you'll hold it against us. Instead, the cookie dough is similar to a chocolate-chip cookie base, but with salty peanuts stirred into the batter instead of chocolate.
