    Ingredients

    • 2 1/3 cup Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 cup butter, unsalted
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 pinch salt
    • 1/4 cup peanut butter, creamy
    • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
    • 12 tablespoons Cascadian Farms® concord grape jelly
    • 1 cup peanut butter shelled candies (like Reese's Pieces)

    Directions

    1. 1Coat a 12 cup muffin pan with baking spray and set aside.
    2. 2Use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a mixing bowl and hand-held beaters. For about three minutes, beat the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.
    3. 3Add the egg, vanilla, peanut butter, and salt. Mix until combined.
    4. 4With the mixer on low, add the flour a half cup at a time.
    5. 5Leave a large cup of dough off to the side for topping later and use the rest to make the base.
    6. 6Add two tablespoons of dough to each of the muffin cups.
    7. 7Press the dough down into the muffin cup.
    8. 8Spread a generous tablespoon of jelly onto the dough.
    9. 9Put the remaining dough back into the mixer and add a cup of peanut butter candy pieces. Mix on low until they are incorporated. Roll the dough into little balls and drop them on top of the jelly.
    10. 10Bake at 375F for 25-30 minutes until golden brown on top.
    11. 11The jelly will most likely ooze a little. Make sure to run a knife around the edges before they cool completely to make removal easier later.

    Since no one in my house will eat grape jelly, I used a raspberry preserves. It was great! Good stuff.
