INGREDIENTS

1 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons avocado oil

1 ¼ cups granulated sugar

1 cup light brown sugar, packed

4 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour

1 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder

½ teaspoon salt

6 ounces dark chocolate chips

4-5 JUSTIN’S® Peanut Butter Cups (we used Super Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter and White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups)

¼ cup organic chocolate Easter eggs

Organic sprinkles (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan, and line with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, oil, and sugars. Mix in the eggs and vanilla.

In a separate medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth into an even layer. Bake 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and top with chopped peanut butter cups and Easter chocolates.

Cool in pan for 15 to 20 minutes. Lift the sides of the parchment paper to remove from the pan and allow them to cool completely before slicing into 16 squares.

Great Summer Recipes
Almond Butter Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookie bitten into, and placed on a black marble tabletop

What would happen if chocolate chip cookies grew up? Maybe got a job at a cool bookstore somewhere? Honestly, it would be a little weird. Chocolate chip cookies are food, not people. And these Almond Butter Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies are the absolute best version of the classic cookie you’ll ever taste. They’re just as sweet and indulgent as your Grandma’s recipe, but with a little something extra that will have everyone asking for your secret ingredient.

Peanut Butterbeer on clear cup with handle on a rectangular golden serving tray on a light brown top with a black background

This Peanut Butterbeer is wicked good and a great drink for any event. I’ve added JUSTIN’S® Honey Peanut Butter to a cream soda and topped it with coconut whipped cream. I go nuts if I go too long without one of these magical drinks.

 

Peanut Miso Veggie Stiry Fry with chopsticks on a marbled plate and dipping sauce on a marbled countertop

This flavorful dish was inspired by my love for Asian cuisine. It’s entirely vegetarian and feels like a treat everytime I make it. The combination of zesty, sweet, and savory miso sauce over a bed of veggies and noodles, is the perfect dinner recipe for any night.

Vanilla Almond Baked Doughnut Holes in a white bowl with coffee and Justin's peanut butter jar

Sweet, poppable doughnut holes are almost impossible to stop munching on. Well, munch away my friend. Vanilla Almond Baked Doughnut Holes are gluten free and baked instead of fried so you don’t have to feel bad if you munch one or two more than you were planning.
