Charlottechicken Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Help! I've found an almost full jar of peanut butter in the back of the cupboard, and it has to go. I buy a jar every few years, thinking I will eat it, but never do. I know at least one of you creative Omleteers will have a tried and tested recipe that requires peanut butter, hopefully a whole jar, or maybe I can make a few things with it! Anything cake or dessert orientated will be gratefully received! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 There are various peanut butter biscuit recipes - is it smooth or crunchy? If it's smooth then I'd keep it for thickening soups or stews with, a spoonful stirred in works very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Peanut butter balls by stirring in Icing sugar & rice krispies to make a stiff mix - form into balls, then half dip in melted chocolate. Yummy yum yum Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 That sounds interesting CHP, pity I don't have rice krispies. I'm looking for cakey type things if possible though. I've found US cake recipes that I can't translate, and everything with peanut butter in also seems to contain chocolate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 I've made peanut butter fairy cakes, to my own recipe. The sponge came out fine, substituting some of the fat for peanut butter. The peanut butter icing needs some work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 If you prefer something to eat in little nibbles then how about this Peanut butter fudge 125g butter 500g dark brown sugar 120ml milk 250g peanut butter - says crunchy but I am sure smooth would be just as good 1 vanilla pod - seeds only 300g icing sugar Melt butter in pan over medium heat Stir in brown sugar and milk, bring to the boil for 2-3 mins without stirring Remove from hear, stir in peanut butter and vanilla seeds Put icing sugar in large bowl, pour on hot butter/sugar mixture Stir with a wooden spoon and beat until smooth Pour into a 20cm square baking tray (I think I lined mine with parchment first) Set aside to chill in the fridge Cut into squares and store in an airtight container (I stored mine in food bags, tied, in the fridge) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Bleugh...peanut butter is the only thing that I will not eat, I have tried over and over again and it is just I don't mind it in satay but that is it. It is the texture as much as the taste that I don't like, it is like eating felt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachachecha Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 My sister-in-law stirs in a teaspoon of peanut butter into her oatmeal each morning. Have never tried it myself but she loves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
