I am completely obsessed with bread spreads! Only, I rarely spread them on bread. I usually end up just eating them straight out of the jar with a large spoon! I came up with the following cookie butter recipe a few weeks ago and it is not half bad for a first attempt. I threw it in the fridge after spooning my fill out of the bowl I was going to store it in. The next day I discovered that it is way better out of the fridge. I plan to keep experimenting with this stuff. It is fun to try to get just the right texture. Cookie suggestions are definitely welcome.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Butter
-one 9 oz. box Famous Chocolate Wafers (Nabisco)
-1/2 c. chunky peanut butter
-1 Tbsp. dark chocolate cocoa powder
-2 c. powdered sugar
-1/2 c. canola oil
Process cookies add 1 c. sugar. Add all oil, streaming into the food processor while it is on high. Add peanut butter, process. Add cocoa, process. Add the rest of the sugar (¼ c. at a time), process until smooth. EAT IT!

Compelling Calorie Clue: ~ 100 calorie worth of Peanut Butter Cap’n Crunch = 3/4 c. These did not work well in my brownies. But they are great in Crispy Treats (watch for them in an upcoming recipe) and trail mix!
