Chocolate Peanut Butter Scones

Servings: 8 Servings
Category: Chocolate | Breads
Ingredients

  • 2 c Flour
  • 1/2 c Sugar, brown
  • 2 1/2 ts Baking powder
  • 1/4 ts Salt
  • 1/4 c Butter, sweet; chilled
  • 3/4 c Peanut butter, creamy
  • 1/4 c Milk
  • 2 Egg
  • 2 ts Vanilla
  • 1/2 c Peanuts, unsalted; chopped
  • 1 1/2 oz Chocolate, bittersweet

Directions
Approx. Cook Time: 0:17 Break chocolate into 8 equal pieces. Preheat oven to 375F. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut the butter into 1/2-inch cubes and distribute them over the flour mixture. With a pastry blender or two knives used scissors fashion, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, stir together the peanut butter mixture to the flour mixture and knead until combined. Knead in the peanuts. Pat the dough out into a 1/2-inch thickness on a cutting board. Using a floured 2-1/2 in. to 3-in. diameter crinkled round biscuit cutter, cut out rounds from the dough. Gather the scraps together and repeat until all the dough is used and there are 16 round. Place 8 of the rounds on an ungreased baking sheet. Top each round with a piece of the chocolate and one of the remaining circles of dough. Press the edges gently to seal. Bake for 17-19 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove the baking sheet to a wire rack and cool 5 minutes. Using a spatula, transfer the scones to the wire rack to cool. Serve warm or cool completely and store in an airtight container. VARIATION (Randy’s Preference): Make the dough as above, omitting bittersweet chocolate, substituting 1/2 c. unsalted peanuts for the chopped peanuts and kneading in 3/4 c. semisweet chocolate chips at the same time. Put the dough into a 9-inch diameter circle on a baking sheet. With a serrated knife, cut into 8 wedges. Bake 20-22 minutes, or until a cake tested or toothpick inserted into the center of a scone comes out clean. Cool as above and recut into wedges, if necessary.

Chocolate Orgasms

Servings: 6 Servings
Category: Chocolate | Cakes
Ingredients

  • 4 oz Unsweetened chocolate
  • 8 tb Unsalted butter, room temp
  • 1 1/4 c Plus 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1/2 ts Vanilla extract
  • 3 lg Eggs, room temp
  • 3/4 c All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 c Plus 2 Tbsp chopped walnuts
  • Frosting
  • 1 1/2 oz Unsweetened chocolate
  • 1/4 c Evaporated milk
  • 1/3 c Sugar

Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease an 8-inch square pan with butter or vegetable oil. Melt the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler placed over simmering water. Cool the mixture for 5 minutes. Place the sugar in a medium-size mixing bowl and pour in the chocolate mixture. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, mix until blended, about 25 seconds. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the vanilla. With the mixer on medium-low speed, add the eggs one at a time, blending after each addition until the yolk is broken and dispersed, about 10 seconds. Scrape the bowl after the last egg and blend until velvety, about 15 more seconds. Add the flour on low speed and mix for 20 seconds; finish the mixing by hand, being certain to mix in any flour at the bottom of the bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup of the nuts. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining 2 Tbsp of nuts over the top. Bake the brownies on the center oven rack until a thin crust forms on top and a tester inserted in the center comes out with a moist crumb, about 35 minutes. (The center of the brownies should never quite rise to the height of the edges.) Remove pan from oven and place on a rack to cool for 1 hour. FROSTING: To prepare the frosting, melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler placed over simmering water. Pour the evaporated milk into an electric blender and add the sugar and the melted chocolate. Blend the frosting on medium-low speed until it thickens, about 50 seconds (the sound of the machine will change when this process occurs.) Using a frosting spatula, spread the frosting evenly over the surface of the cooled brownies and allow them to sit for 1 hour before cutting. Makes 36 small brownies.

Directions
———————————-FILLING———————————- 2 c Powdered sugar 2 tb Butter; softened 4 tb Orange juice 1/2 c Unsweetened cocoa Heat oven to 350F. Seperate dough into three even sections.
