INGREDIENTS

Base Dough:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt

Mix-Ins:

  • ½ cup Justin’s White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, chopped
  • ⅓ cup crushed candy canes
  • ½ cup Justin’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Candy Pieces
  • ½ cup Justin’s Mini Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, chopped
  • ⅓ cup holiday-themed sprinkles
  • ½ cup Justin’s Classic Peanut Butter

DIRECTIONS

Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a large sheet pan (12×17 inches) with non-stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, mix together butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt, then gradually mix into the wet ingredients until combined.

Divide the dough into 4 portions:

  1. Fold in diced Justin’s White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups and crushed candy canes into one portion, then press into one-fourth of the sheet pan.
  2. Mix Justin’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Candy Pieces into the second portion and press into another fourth of the pan.
  3. Add chopped Justin’s Mini Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups and sprinkles and press into the one-fourth of the pan.
  4. Mix Justin’s Classic Peanut Butter into the dough and press into the remaining fourth of the pan. 

Bake for 18-22 minutes, until edges are golden and center is set. Cool for 15 minutes, slice and serve. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Great Summer Recipes
Paleo Almond Butter Brownie Parfait in clear cups with fudge chunks and crumbs on a white background

This recipe needs no introduction, but I’ll write one anyway. There’s so many great things to say about this Paleo Almond Butter Brownie Parfait, it’s one of my kids’ favorites. It includes a bed of rich chocolate pudding, under a layer of coconut whipped cream, and topped with fudgy chocolate brownies. Yum! Did I mention it’s Paleo-friendly? You have to try it for yourself.

 

Almond Butter Granola Cookies on a parchment tray on a white background with a jug of milk beside Justin's Peanut Butter

Granola is nutritious and good for you, but can be hard to start eating as part of a consistent diet. So, I’ve decided to kick up the flavor by adding my JUSTIN’S® Cinnamon Almond Butter—turning plain old ‘groan’-ola into tasty almond butter granola cookies!

 

Frozen Chocolate PB Banana Pops with chocolate drizzle, rainbow sprinkles, Justin's honey peanut butter jar and two bananas

Contrary to what you may be thinking the “PB” in this Frozen Chocolate PB Banana Pops recipe stands for “perfectly blended (flavors)”. Ok not really, but that doesn’t make it untrue. This recipe is tasty and a great way to stay cool on hot days. I make them with JUSTIN’S® Honey Peanut Butter, fresh bananas, and decorate them with sprinkles. It’s a great project that you can make and eat with the kids!
