If there’s one thing even better than peanut butter, it’s peanut butter with chocolate! And that’s why new Reese Spreads Peanut Butter Chocolate is a new favourite in our household.
From having it on a piece of toast in the morning to using the spread for all kinds of tasty recipes, any time I use Reese, I’m guaranteed delicious results.
Recently Reese Canada challenged me to come up with a recipe using the new spread, and I couldn’t wait to let my creativity shine.
After a lot of deliberation, I decided to take a classic and give it a new twist. Peanut butter cookies are always a favourite, but filled with Reese Peanut Butter Chocolate Spread, I knew they’d be even better. And so my Reese Peanut Butter Chocolate Lava Cookies were born!
Though this recipe does take a bit of extra time due to freezing the scoops of Reese Spreads, the cookies are still surprisingly simple to put together. I found that flattening a bit of dough into a disc in my hand, wrapping it around one of the frozen morsels and then rolling the dough into a ball was the easiest way to get perfect, uniform results for my cookies.
Then, I simply flattened the cookies gently with my hand and used a fork to create the classic ridges that are so popular with peanut butter cookies. Ten minutes later, I was pulling the cookies out of the oven and biting into a bit of chocolate and peanut butter bliss!
What I loved most about this recipe was that it really wasn’t any more difficult than making a tray of ordinary peanut butter cookies. But it still produced a finished treat that had a bit of gourmet appeal thanks to the chocolaty goodness inside each sweet treat.
If you’re a fan of anything chocolate and peanut butter, Reese’s Puffs are a great snack choice too! I love them right out of the box as a quick treat. Just be careful if you’re on a vegan diet; visit https://veganliftz.com/are-reeses-puffs-vegan/ to learn more!
Having tried one tasty recipe, I’m looking forward to cooking up a few more. I think a Peanut Butter Chocolate cake may be in order next! But to be honest, Reese Spreads Peanut Butter Chocolate is so good that you may just want to spoon it into your mouth right out of the container!
Whether you’re spreading it, spooning it or cooking with it, this new spread is a must-try for any peanut lover!
