DIRECTIONS

  2. In a large bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugars. Mix in the peanut butter until well combined. Beat in the egg and vanilla.

Great Summer Recipes
Roasted Almond Butter and Maple Glazed Tofu, Squash and Brussels in a close up shot laid on white parchment paper

Roasted Almond Butter and Maple Glazed Tofu, Squash, and Brussels is a genuine triple threat. This dinner delight is vegetarian, full of flavor, and cooks in one pan. It doesn’t take your whole day to prepare either. At any given moment, you are thirty minutes of marinating, a few minutes of tossing ingredients together, and thirty minutes of hands-off roasting away from enjoying a flavor-packed, wholesome, vegetarian meal. Seriously. There’s really no downside to this recipe.

Almond Butter Romesco in a two-colored bowl on a gray plate filled with small bread slices with Romesco on them

Smoky, savory, delicious flavor doesn’t need to take all day. Sometimes it’s as simple as combining high-quality ingredients and just enjoying the result. Almond Butter Romesco is a perfect example of that kind of dish. All you need to do is blend roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, almond butter, and other delicious ingredients together and enjoy with toasts, chicken, or vegetables.

No Bake PB & J Bars with heart-shaped jelly center with a spoonful of peanut butter on white background with crumbs

Peanut butter and jelly is a classic combination. These No-Bake PB&J Bars are packed with JUSTIN’S® Classic Peanut Butter and are so good and you don’t even need to get a single knife dirty!

 

I topped my pumpkin ice cream with a Super Dark Chocolate Espresso Almond Butter Cup, and it blew my mind. What’s next? Pumpkin pies topped with Super Dark Chocolate Espresso Almond Butter Cups? Pumpkin Oatmeal? Pumpkin lattes? Hey now there’s an idea…

Peanut Butter Banana S'mores Bars stacked on top of each other with chocolate chips on a white top with a blue background

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.
