    Peanut Butter-Fudge Cups

    Yield: 2 dozen (serving size: 1 cup)

    Ingredients
    Crust:
    1/4 cup chunky peanut butter
    3 tablespoons brown sugar
    2 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces
    1 1/2 tablespoons corn syrup
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    3 tablespoons cold water
    Cooking spray
    Filling:
    2/3 cup packed brown sugar
    2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
    2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips
    1 tablespoon butter
    3 tablespoons 1% low-fat milk
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1 large egg
    2 teaspoons powdered sugar
    Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350°.

    To prepare crust, place first 4 ingredients in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Lightly spoon 1 cup flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Add flour and salt to peanut butter mixture; cut in flour with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle surface with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time; toss with a fork until combined.

    Shape mixture into 24 balls. Place 1 ball in each of 24 miniature muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Press dough into bottoms and up sides of muffin cups.

    To prepare filling, combine 2/3 cup brown sugar and the next 4 ingredients (2/3 cup brown sugar through milk) in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until smooth, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in 2 tablespoons flour and egg until well blended. Divide chocolate mixture evenly among muffin cups. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until the pastry is lightly browned; cool in pan on a wire rack 5 minutes. Run a knife around outside edges of cups. Remove cups from pan; cool completely on wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

    PEANUT BUTTER DREAM BARS from the "cook yourself thin" cookbook and tv show..

    Serves 8
    Calories per serving: 157

    1/2 cup low-calorie thin chocolate wafers, finely ground in a food processor
    1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
    1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
    1/4 cup creamy reduced-fat peanut butter
    1 1/2 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, room temperature
    2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips, melted

    1. Line a 9-x-4-inch loaf pan with wax paper or baking parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the long sides.

    2. Combine the ground wafers, oats, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Stir in the butter until everything is evenly moistened. Stir in 1 tablespoon peanut butter until mixture forms large clumps. Transfer mixture to lined loaf pan and press into an even layer. Refrigerate until firm, about 10 minutes.


    3. Meanwhile, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add vanilla, remaining 3 tablespoons peanut butter and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and beat on medium speed until pale and nearly doubled in volume, about 7 minutes. Transfer to the loaf pan and spread in an even layer over cookie crust. Freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.

    4. Spread the chocolate in a thin, even layer over the chilled peanut butter layer. Refrigerate until firm, about 10 minutes. When ready to serve, lift bars out of the pan using the wax paper overhang. Cut crosswise into 8 bars and serve cold.
