Peanut Butter Eclair Cake I have to give credit to Chicken Legs for this recipe. One of his favorite desserts is my Chocolate Éclair Cake. The last time I made it he suggested that we try a Peanut Butter Chocolate Éclair Cake. I happen to love peanut butter and chocolate, so I thought that was a fantastic idea!! I made a few simple changes to the original recipe and we had our creation. It was absolutely delicious! Peanut Butter Chocolate Éclair Cake(Printable Recipe) 1 box chocolate graham crackers (there will be a few graham crackers left over) 2 (3 1/4-ounce) boxes vanilla instant pudding 1 cup peanut butter 3 1/2 cups milk 1 (8-ounce) container Cool Whip, thawed 1 can chocolate frosting Spray the bottom of a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Heat the container of prepared frosting, uncovered in the microwave for 1 minute.

More From New Nostalgia: California Sandwich Tomato sandwiches have owned me this summer. It started with my mother-in-law’s visit, just before our big Independence Day family reunion. The reunion stretches across two meals, so everyone brings enough food for lunch and dinner. There are two big picnic tables covered in aluminum containers piled high with barbecue, ribs, chicken wings, burgers, hot dogs and brats. But no matter what else people had on their plates this year, no one could resist grabbing one (or two or three) of Elaine’s tomato sandwiches. Pretty much perfect. But that didn’t stop me from tinkering with them. First, I traded the white bread for whole grain. And then, it was pretty obvious that my classic Southern party sandwich had gone Californian. Feel free to put your own mark on this sandwich. With a little imagination, you can pimp that tomato sandwich to satisfy just about any craving. Perfect for the last few weeks of summer.
Peanut Butter-Chocolate Tart with a Pretzel Crust | The Baker Chick It must be common knowledge by now that I am obsessed with the sweet and salty combo. So, when I saw a recipe in Food & Wine for a pretzel tart crust, I knew I had to make it. The recipe I found though was for a milk chocolate tart – which didn’t sound that great to me. I love chocolate, but usually like in it combination with something else (like- peanut butter!) It took me a few days of scheming to envision this tart. I brought this to a dinner party over the weekend and it was a hit! Peanut Butter-Chocolate Tart with a Pretzel Crust Ingredients Crust: 1 stick unsalted butter, softened 1 1/4 cups coarsely crushed thin pretzels 3/4 cup confectioners sugar 1/2 cup all purpose flour 1 large egg 2 oz. bittersweet chocolate, melted Filling: 3 oz. best quality dark or milk chocolate, plus more for curls 1 3/4 cups heavy cream 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter 1/2 cup cream cheese (4 oz.) 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk Instructions Fill a large bowl with ice and water.

Colorful Spiral Cookies Just try to be in a bad mood around one of these. Impossible! I was naturally drawn to these because of the bright, eye-catching swirl, not to mention the jumbo sprinkles-encrusted edges! Another thing I love about these is that they are SLICE and BAKE. I won't go much into preparation here, because that's all in the recipe, but here are some pictures to give you an idea of the process. I wanted to make my dough even on all sides, so I trimmed some away to make an even roll. I used Wilton's rose gel food coloring. You'll then encrust the dough with jumbo (or other) sprinkles. Speaking of ham... Some of you may wonder why there are so many pictures of my dog, Biscuit, included in my posts. I'll say "Biiiissscuit...no-no!" ...and all my disciplinary plans fly out the window. I think this version turned out cute too, although I really like the larger jumbo non-pariels better. EDIT: Laurie at Dalla Mia Cucina made them - check out her pretty version. Remove dough pieces from refrigerator. Love,
