This is one of my favorite desserts of all time. It is super easy to make, and way, WAY too tasty. Highly addictive, so I recommend not keeping too many around…
1/4 C. Butter
3/4 C. Peanut butter (I prefer Peter Pan Peanut Butter, but any will work, including Natural)
1/4 C. Coconut
6 oz butterscotch chips
2 1/2 cups miniature colored marshmallows
Prepare a double boiler, so that the bottom part is boiling. Mix the first 4 ingredients together, and stir them together in the double boiler until melted. Remove from the double boiler. Stir in the marshmallows and immediately spread into a greased pan. The size doesn´t matter, as long as everything fits! Place in the fridge for 1 hour, then cut into squares….and voilá! One of the best peanut butter desserts you can make….
This peanut butter recipe has many variations, and the nice thing about it is you can easily modify the ingredients to make them match your tastes. For example, I often put in less butterscotch chips. I also like to add chopped walnuts, which make a delicious addition!! This dessert tends to be a huge hit with kids, which makes it ideal for parties or nights when there a going to be lots of kids in your house. However, I have also found that adults can´t keep their hands off of them!

What you need:
2 slices of bread
Peanut butter – any kind
Jelly/Jam – high quality if possible. The more fruit the better!
There are two very important things to keep in mind when making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (aka PBJ). First, this sandwich is much much better FRESH!! If it is left too long, the jam eventually sinks into the bread, and changes the flavor of the sandwich completely! The other important point is to go HEAVY on the peanut butter and the jam. Lots of both makes a delicious sandwich!!
Directions:
Spread a good amount of peanut butter on one side of both pieces of bread. This is important to prevent the jam from soaking into the bread! Next, spread a large amount of jam on one of the slices. Add the other slice, and voila!! Sounds easy? That´s because it is! But it is also delicious 
**Some people like to add butter on both sides of the bread. I´m not a fan, as I find I don´t like the flavor of the butter. Of course, it is worth testing to see if you like it.
As for the type of bread, jam, peanut butter, that is all up to personal preference. My favorite is: a creamy Kraft peanut butter, a jam with lots and lots of fruit (homemade if possible) and whole grain bread.
Variations:
Instead of jam, use nutella, to make a Peanut Butter Nutella Sandwich!

This is definitely one of my all time favorite peanut butter recipes. I have been completely addicted to these in the past, so be careful! They are quite high in fat, so you don´t want to drink them everyday. They are like peanut butter smoothies, but are truly decadent. Be sure to enjoy on occasion though!
1 cup milk
1 scoop vanilla ice cream
3 tbsp. peanut butter
Blend together in a blender and enjoy!
Some of my favorite variations:
Add a banana, and make it a Peanut Butter Banana Milkshake…phenomenal!
Add 2 tbsp. of chocolate sauce for a Peanut Butter Chocolate Milkshake….decadent!!!
If you want to go all out, add a banana, 2 tbsp of chocolate sauce, and another ½ to 1 cup of milk. The Royal Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Milkshake!
