Make Peanut Butter Cups

Ingredients

16 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter
2 tbsp butter, softened
1.75 oz confectioner's sugar (1/4 cup+2 tbsp), sifted

Yield: Makes 12-18 peanut butter cups (depends on how thick you make the layers)


Directions

cup muffi tin for making cup snacks

1. Line a standard 12 cup muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.


2. Melt half the chocolate either in a double boiler (the safer method) or in the microwave (the more dangerous, but easier/lazier method). I opt for the latter.

3. Distribute the melted chocolate into the 12 muffin tins. If the chocolate does not lie flat, drop the pan repeatedly on the counter, and it will flatten and smooth itself out. Place the pan in the freezer for 15 minutes.


4. In the meantime, whip the peanut butter and confectioner's sugar together with a hand mixer until mixed and light. Taste it and make sure the sweetness is to your liking. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes.

The shaped peanut butter cups

5. Melt the last 1/2lb of chocolate, and portion small spoonfuls of chocolate into the cups, one cup at a time, immediately dropping the pan repeatedly on the counter to flatten each cup. In my experience of making these, the chill from the peanut butter (because it was just in the freezer) will harden up that top layer of chocolate very quickly, so you must flatten out the tops immediately after you pour the chocolate into each cup. Place the peanut butter cups in the freezer for 15 minutes to set the top layer of chocolate.

6. You can either refrigerate them for a peanut butter cup with more bite, or leave them at room temperature for a softer, creamier bite. Just peel the wrapper off, and enjoy!

Make Smoky Sweet Potato Burgers

Ingredients

2 cups coarsely mashed sweet potatoes (or yams), about 2 large potatoes
2 bulbs of roasted garlic
1 cup cannellini benas (rinsed and drained if canned)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
1/3 cup oat flour (or all-purpose, wheat, etc)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon cumin
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
1 avocado, sliced
2/3 cup plain greek yogurt or sour cream
1 teaspoon maple syrup
extra salt and pepper for seasoning yogurt/cream
4 whole wheat buns


Directions

1. Garlic processing--- to roast garlic, I like to roast a few bulbs at once (like 4-5) to have for the week.

2. Potato processing--- pierce potatoes (I used 2 large) all over with a fork and place on a paper towel, setting in the microwave. Microwave for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for 5 minutes more. Remove, slice the potato in half and let cool until you can scoop out the flesh.

3. Burger Preparation: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roast sweet potatoes for 45 minutes and cool. Peel sweet potatoes and set aside (left over sweet potatoes work well in this step as well). In a large saute pan, saute onions and garlic in olive oil over medium heat. In a large bowl, add sweet potatoes, onion, garlic, and all other remaining ingredients. Make 6-8 patties. Pan sear sweet potato patties in skillet, then bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees.

4. Assemble by topping burgers with roasted garlic cream and avocado! We also used caramelized red onion one night and it was delicious.
