Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Unbelievably simple, these chocolate peanut butter bars require zero baking and deliver maximum satisfaction. Use creamy peanut butter for that smooth texture we all crave, and don’t skip the sea salt sprinkle—it makes all the difference.

Ingredients

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (I crush mine fresh for better texture)
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter (go for the natural kind—it spreads easier)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (salted works too if that’s your preference)
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (sift it to avoid lumps)
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (I like Ghirardelli for melting smoothly)
• 1/4 cup heavy cream (warm it slightly to help the chocolate melt evenly)
• 1 tsp flaky sea salt (Maldon is my favorite for that crunch)

Instructions

1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides for easy removal.
2. Combine 2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar in a large bowl.
3. Mix with a spatula until fully incorporated and no dry spots remain—this takes about 2 minutes of stirring.
4. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan using the bottom of a measuring cup to create an even layer.
5. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to set while you prepare the topping.
6. Combine 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl.
7. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth—this usually takes 60-90 seconds total.
8. Pour the melted chocolate over the chilled crust and spread evenly with an offset spatula.
9. Sprinkle 1 tsp flaky sea salt immediately over the chocolate before it sets.
10. Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate topping is firm to the touch.
11. Use the parchment overhang to lift the entire block from the pan onto a cutting board.
12. Cut into 16 squares with a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts for neat edges.

Rich and fudgy with that perfect salty-sweet balance, these bars stay firm yet creamy when chilled. Try serving them slightly chilled for a satisfying snap, or let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften into gooey perfection.

Classic Tiramisu in a Jar

Skip the fancy plating—these individual tiramisu jars are your new party trick. Seriously satisfying layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and creamy mascarpone come together in minutes. Perfect for potlucks, date nights, or just treating yourself.

Ingredients

– 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled (I use espresso for that authentic kick)
– 3 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional but highly recommended for depth)
– 6 oz ladyfinger cookies (the crisp ones hold up best against soaking)
– 8 oz mascarpone cheese, room temp (crucial for smooth blending)
– 2 large eggs, separated and at room temp (whites whip up fluffier this way)
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar (divided—trust me, it makes the mixing easier)
– 1 tsp vanilla extract (pure vanilla brings out the sweetness)
– 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting—I like the bitter contrast)

Instructions

1. Brew 1 cup of strong coffee and let it cool completely to room temperature in a shallow bowl.
2. Stir 3 tbsp coffee liqueur into the cooled coffee if using.
3. Separate 2 large eggs, placing whites in a clean, dry mixing bowl and yolks in another.
4. Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar to the egg yolks and whisk vigorously by hand for 2–3 minutes until pale and slightly thickened.
5. Whisk in 8 oz room temperature mascarpone and 1 tsp vanilla extract until just combined and smooth—don’t overmix.
6. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, about 2–3 minutes.
7. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar while beating, and continue until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 1–2 more minutes.
8. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture in two additions until no white streaks remain.
9. Quickly dip 6 oz ladyfinger cookies, one at a time, into the coffee mixture for 2–3 seconds per side—they should be moist but not soggy.
10. Break the soaked ladyfingers to fit snugly into the bottom of each jar.
11. Spoon half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers, spreading it evenly.
12. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining cream.
13. Cover the jars and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to let the flavors meld.
14. Just before serving, dust the tops generously with 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve.
Zesty cocoa powder cuts through the rich cream, while the ladyfingers soften into a cake-like texture. Serve these straight from the fridge for a cool, creamy bite—or layer in fresh berries for a fruity twist. They’re even better the next day, if they last that long.

6. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the air bubbles.
7. Mash 1 cup raspberries with a fork in a small saucepan, leaving some texture for visual appeal.

– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (I prefer Ghirardelli for their smooth melt)

Ingredients

– 2 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (go for freestone peaches—they’re way easier to pit)
– 1 cup fresh raspberries (frozen work perfectly if that’s all you have)
– 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (I like just a touch to balance the tartness)
– 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (bottled is fine, but fresh brightens everything up)

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Arrange the peach slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
3. Roast the peaches for 15–18 minutes until they’re soft and lightly caramelized at the edges.

6. Cook the raspberry mixture over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, mashing the berries with a spoon until they break down into a saucy consistency.
7. Strain the raspberry sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds, pressing with a spatula to extract all the liquid. (Tip: Don’t skip straining—seedless sauce feels so much more luxurious.)
8. Allow the raspberry sauce to cool slightly; it will thicken as it sits.
9. Grab four parfait glasses or clear cups and spoon 2 tablespoons of vanilla yogurt into the bottom of each.
10. Layer about ¼ of the roasted peaches over the yogurt in each glass.
11. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the raspberry sauce over the peaches in each glass.
12. Repeat the layers once more: yogurt, peaches, and raspberry sauce. (Tip: Use the back of a spoon to spread each layer neatly for those Instagram-worthy stripes.)
13. Top each parfait with 1 tablespoon of crushed vanilla wafer cookies for crunch.
14. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving. Perfect parfaits balance creamy yogurt with jammy peaches and that sharp raspberry zing. Try serving them in mason jars for a picnic or layer in some granola for extra texture.
