Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwiches

Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwiches

Easy Home Cooking Magazine's recipe for Peanut Butter Ice Cream Triangles (at left) has you making the triangles out of scratch and then just adding vanilla, cinnamon or chocolate ice cream to make the ice cream sandwiches, but you can add some extra oomph by using Haagen-Dazs chocolate peanut butter ice cream to get PB flavor both inside and out. If you'd like to make the entire sandwich from scratch, ice cream included, Emeril Lagasse has a recipe for Peanut Butter and Chocolate Praline Ice Cream Sandwiches from a 1999 episode of Emeril Live, which'll have you making both vanilla-praline ice cream and the peanut butter chocolate pralines to sandwich them in. A lot of work to be sure,... More

Sesame Noodle Noodling with PB, no J

Sam Sifton, currently the New York Times culture editor, is the greatest writer about food you've never heard of. Although he is too busy in his present job to write much at all these days, he does find time to occasionally contribute to the New York Times Magazine. Yesterday he wrote a fantastic piece about the history and evolution of cold sesame noodles. He even includes a recipe, with the help and aid of yarn-spinner and Chinese restaurateur Eddie Schoenfeld (aka "Chop Sooey Looey"). It calls for a tablespoon of smooth peanut butter and a quarter cup of chopped roasted peanuts. Alas, no jelly.... More

Peanut Butter, Kryptonite to Atheists?

John Brownlee over at Wired's Table of Malcontents blog found a video of Creationist Chuck Missler using peanut butter to "disprove" evolution: Brownlee summarizes Missler's argument: "Evolution makes the claim that life is created from nonliving matter, pretty much by random chance. Therefore, chance dictates that every once in a while a gigantic peanut butter blob monster should spring from a recently opened jar of peanut butter and wreak havoc upon the supermarket. After all, a billion jars of peanut butter are produced every year: If evolution were true, certainly one of those jars would have evolved into a chunky peanut butter monster by now." (Myself, I'm considering becoming a Pastafarian, so who am I to say that our ancestors... More

Some peanut butter stats: It takes roughly 540 peanuts to make a 12-ounce jar of peanut butter. Peanut butter is consumed in about 89 percent of US households.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Cupcakes: Not Gross, Just Delicious

Yesterday, while perusing the showcase at Buttercup, one of the bakeries in my neighborhood, I noticed a tray of peanut butter and jelly cupcakes. My first thought was Yuck!. But then I decided that in the name of PBJ research I had to try one. Guess what? The PBJ cupcake was awesome. The cupcake had little pockets of grape jelly, the cupcake itself was moist and toothsome, and the chunky peanut butter frosting was smooth and rich without being cloyingly sweet. I asked one of the young women behind the counter if I could look at the two Buttercup Bakery cookbooks behind the counter. Sure enough, the recipe for PBJ cupcakes were in Buttercup Bakes at Home.... More

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Ice Cream at Baskin-Robbins

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Ice Cream at Baskin-Robbins

Baskin-Robbins is featuring a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup flavor all through March, April, and May, offering it in stores as scoops and prepackaged quarts, shakes, and sundaes, the latter of which sounds particularly scrumptious: "This madness is not just a layer of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, but three scoops of Reese's Peanut Butter Cup ice cream. How to top that? Hot fudge wouldn’t be enough. Let’s also add Reese's Peanut Butter Sauce and some whipped cream. Just for good measure."... More
