I was flying back from Santa Fe last week on Southwest Airlines, and I glanced through Spirit Magazine and came across a recipe for Peanut Butter & Jelly Brownies. Now this was so intriguing that I thought I'd make a batch of James Boyce's brownies. Then I found that I had two other recipes. So here are three recipes. Take your pick! Happy Peanut Butter & Jelly Day!
Peanut Butter & Jelly Brownies
#1 Peanut Butter & Jelly Brownies
from James Boyce, chef-owner of Cotton Row, Huntsville, Alabama. His brownies and jam are homemade, and he uses chunky peanut butter for crunch. This appeared in Spirit Magazine, Southwest Airlines
Ingredients:
2 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed melted butter
4 two-inch square brownies
4 tablespoons peanut butter (crunchy is best!)
4 tablespoons strawberry jam
4 tablespoons chocolate chips
Directions:
1 Lay one sheet of dough on work surface and brush with butter. Top with another sheet, brush with butter, then cut into four 8-by-8 inch squares. Place one brownie on each square.
2 Top each brownie with one tablespoon each of peanut butter and jam, then sprinkle with chocolate chips. Cinch dough around brownies and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Bake at 425ºF for 5 minutes, or until dough starts to brown.
