Peanut Butter Puffs

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 28 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Cookies Bars

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar — sifted
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
7 sheets phyllo dough
1/3 cup butter — melted
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate pieces — melted
1/4 cup pecans — chop

For cookie filling, stir together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, 2
tablespoons of butter and vanilla until well mixed. Set aside.

Brush 1 sheet of phyllo dough with some of the melted butter. (Keep
remaining sheets covered with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.)
Cut phyllo sheet lengthwise into 4 long strips. Place a slightly rounded
teaspoon of the peanut butter filing about 1″ from one end of one of the
strips. Starting at the same end with the filing, fold a corner of the dough
over the filling so it lines up with the other side of the strip, forming a
triangle. Continue folding like a flag in a triangular shape, using the
entire strip. Repeat with the remaining cut strips and sheets of phyllo.
Brush each triangle with melted butter and place on an ungreased cookie
sheet, seam side down. Bake in a 400 oven for 6 to 8 minutes or until
golden. Cool on wire racks.

Pipe or drizzle the tops of the triangles with melted chocolate (thin
chocolate with melted shortening, if necessary). Or, if desired, spread
cookies with chocolate and sprinkle with chopped pecans. Cool until
chocolate sets. Serve immediately or cover and chill for up to 2 days.
Makes 28.

You can freeze the UNFROSTED triangles to have on hand for last minute
holiday entertaining or gift giving. Decorate with chocolate and nuts just
before serving.

1 c Water
2 tb Sugar

1 tb Butter
1 c Shredded Mozzarella
1 tb Sundried tomatoes — crumbled
2 tb Dehydrated onion
1 t Minced basil
2 c Bread flour
1 tb Dry milk
2 ts Dry yeast

I’ve been playing around with these ingredients and my husband thinks
I should “go public” with this recipe! It’s for a bread machine, but
you could make it by hand in the conventional way, too. In my
Zojirushi machine the crust is rather dark (but still delicious) so
other machines may need a light crust setting. Enjoy! Place ingred.
in B/M in order given (start at bottom for>>>> Welbilt/Dak) set crust
to light and bake on white bread setting. I’m munching on the “heel”
as I type and am thinking about how good a sandwich will be in a few
hours! Maybe next time I’ll add pepperoni and have all the sandwich
ingredients in each slice. It has a real pizza taste! LINDA IN
