Chocolate Peanut Butter Date Caramel Bars

Chocolate Peanut Butter Date Caramel Bars by Alison's AllspiceThese chocolate peanut butter date caramel bars are a healty no-bake snack or dessert recipe.  Date caramel is made by blending dates and nut butter (peanut butter in my recipe!) until smooth, and it makes the center layer of these bars!

I was recently asked by a reader to post more dessert recipes.  If you read here, then you know that I don’t post many.  It’s not that I don’t post them, I don’t make sweets often.

One main reason is that I’m the only one in the house with a sweet tooth, so all desserts end up being consumed by me.  Giant layer cakes and whole pans of brownies just make way too much for one person. Continue reading

Clean up is a breeze when it comes to sheet pan recipes.  I like using parchment paper as well, making clean up even easier. Continue reading

Peanut Butter Dog Cake

Peanut Butter Dog Cake by Alison's AllspiceOur little Pepper turned 2 years old!  It has been years since I wrote about her on the blog (you can see my first post here), and as you can see, she isn’t little any more.  This year, we celebrated by making her a peanut butter dog cake!

Peanut butter is Peppers favorite flavor, so it was an obvious choice for our dog cake.  The peanut butter also doubles as a frosting, which is appropriate because no cake is complete without frosting! Continue reading

Peanut Butter Tofu Banh Mi Bowls

Peanut Butter Tofu Banh Mi Bowls by Alison's AllspiceThis weekend,  I challenged myself to build a meal based on what I already had at home.  These peanut butter tofu banh mi bowls helped me to use up left over veggies, and I discovered a new combo that I love – peanut butter and tofu!

African Peanut Stew with Kale

African Peanut Stew

When I first came across the idea of peanut stew, I did not like the sounds of it.  Peanuts will get soggy when they’re stewed, and that texture might be weird.  They are great made into butter, however. The creamy butter from the peanuts is the star in this dish, not stewed peanuts.  Don’t be afraid! Continue reading

Honey Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cereal Bars

When I was a kid, scotcheroos were a thing.  Way bigger and cooler than the rice crispy treat.  In my adult days, I tend not to indulge in such treats because of their effect on my waistline.  With these bars I decided to make an exception.  They are my adult version of scotcheroos. I made the ingredients a little more wholesome, and the process a little more simple.
