You didn’t think I’d give you a s’mores recipe without putting my own spin on it did you? This is a classic with a sweet twist. This recipe uses JUSTIN’S® Mini Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups in place of the milk-chocolate bar, and real cookie dough instead of crackers. How delicious does that sound? I should warn you though, these can get messy and are addicting. But mostly just addicting.

TOTAL TIME:

30 minutes

INGREDIENTS

½ + ¼ cup JUSTIN’S® Classic Peanut Butter, divided
10 JUSTIN’S® Mini Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups or 6 Full-Sized Peanut Butter Cups (3 packages), chopped
1 box Cookie Mix
1 tablespoon Ground Flaxseed + 2 tablespoon Warm Water
5 tablespoons Water
1 Banana, mashed
10 ounces bag Vegan Marshmallows

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. Mix the ground flax seed with the water and let sit for 2-3 minutes.

3. In a large bowl, combine the cookie mix, ½ cup of JUSTIN’S® Classic Peanut Butter, water, banana, and flax mixture. Stir until fully combined.

4. Press the cookie dough into the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch jelly roll pan.

5. Bake for 10-14 minutes or until golden brown.

6. Temporarily remove from the oven and, while still warm, spread the remaining ¼ cup of JUSTIN’S® Classic Peanut Butter over the bars and sprinkle with chopped JUSTIN’S® Mini Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups.

7. If using large marshmallows, cut each marshmallow in half vertically. (Mini marshmallows will work here too. No need to cut them in half).

8. Line the marshmallows on top of the peanut butter cups and press down slightly.

9. Place the pan back in the oven and broil for 1 minute or less (watch closely!) until the marshmallows are the perfect golden brown.

10. Slice ’em up and enjoy! Warning. They are messy and addicting.

Chocolate Hazelnut PasTREE on a marble serving tray with golden cutlery, pine trees, Christmas ribbons on a wooden background

I’m an environmentally conscious guy. I love to go out and look at the bounty of nature, admire landscapes, and ponder on the vast expanse of time that had to pass for all of it to exist. But, sometimes it gets real cold out and I’d rather stay inside. My Chocolate Hazelnut PasTREEs might not stir an existential crisis within you, but they are packed with JUSTIN’S® Chocolate Hazelnut and Almond Butter. When you want to connect with nature from the comfort of your kitchen, try these!

 

Easy No Bake Peanut Butter Granola Bars out of the tray with Justin's peanut butter jar on a white background side view

I love creating recipes that don’t require any heat because I can make my kids do it when I get lazy. This Easy No Bake Peanut Butter Granola was made with your kids in mind. I’ve included JUSTIN’S® Chocolate Hazelnut and Almond Butter and JUSTIN’S® Classic Peanut Butter for added sweetness. I’ve also added “easy” and “no bake” in the title so they don’t complain. You can even let them have a piece if you’re feeling extra generous.

 

Dairy Free Chocolate Hazelnut Cinnamon Rolls (a very close up shot)

Is there anything nicer than waking up to the smells of cinnamon rolls in the oven? The answer is yes, and that’s waking up to the smells of my Dairy Free Chocolate Hazelnut Butter Cinnamon Rolls. The combination of cinnamon, hazelnut, and chocolate is decadent and dairy-free. This is a breakfast treat everyone can enjoy.

Chocolate Hazelnut and Almond Dessert Hummus on a clear glass with strawberries in the background

I was recently informed that eating JUSTIN’S® Chocolate Hazelnut and Almond Butter straight out of the jar with a spoon is “not ideal for sharing.” Bold of them to assume I wanted to share. If I did want to share, I would whip up this Chocolate Hazelnut and Almond Dessert Hummus. It’s easy to make, delicious, and perfect for a crowd.
