Peanut Butter Lover Desserts:

​

1

1st Dessert

These Bite-sized Peanut Butter M&M Pretzel Cookies look perfect for fall and all of the fun that awaits in the coming months. I know I’m going to be making these for end of summer picnics, football tailgates (just change up the M&Ms to match your team colors), and back to school lunchbox treats.

2nd Dessert

I’m always up for easy, yet delicious recipes. This Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Banana Blender Ice Cream recipe is almost too good to be true. First, you make it in a blender… it doesn’t get much easier than that! And secondly, it’s vegan, which can be really difficult to find {especially ice cream with uncompromised taste}. Refreshing!

Step 3

Monster cookies are my favorite. If I had to pick one kind of cookie forever, it would absolutely be good ‘ole monsters, which is why I’m so in love with this recipe for Monster Cookie Bars! I actually made these earlier this week, and they are just as good as they look, even better, if that’s possible! And, you can totally mix up the add-ins, using up whatever you have in your pantry. 

Not a chocolate lover? No problem, use a variety of nuts and berries instead. Your kids want something crazy sweet? Why not add in a variety of cut up candy bars? The possibilities are endless!

4th Dessert

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pie is so decadent and reminds me of a professional ice cream cake! I think this would be a delicious treat to whip up for an end-of summer backyard bash, when it’s still warm enough for a cool ice cream treat. The top looks so party-ready, just waiting for someone to dive right in!

Step 5

These Peanut Butter Cookie Cups are another personal favorite, and actually, are my very own recipe! I grew up loving peanut butter blossom cookies around the holiday season, and wanted to add a new twist on my grandmother’s classic recipe. These bites of goodness are baked in mini muffin tins {cute liners and all} with dark chocolate peanut butter cups. They’re just as delicious as they sound, and will be devoured in no time!

Step 6

These Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies are just so pretty. I love how dainty they are! And, the base is a homemade Ritz cracker. The perfect sweet salty combination.

Step 7

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups + cheesecake + pretzel crust… Does it get any better? This recipe for Peanut Butter Cup Pretzel Cheesecake Bars has my name written all over it. They look mouthwateringly good, and I cannot wait to make these!

Step 8

This recipe for Peanut Butter Caramel Cupcakes combines the perfect amount of sweet and salty, with a pop of cake mixed in. Perfect for a birthday celebration or “just because” sweet treat.

Step 9

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are delicious by themselves, but even better when mixed into brownies. This recipe for Reese’s Peanut Butter Brownies looks moist, very chocolate-y, and even more peanut buttery-y. Yum!
