Questions about Peanut butter chips
What are peanut butter chips?
They are small, sweet pieces made with peanut butter and sugar, usually set with fats so they hold their shape. They are designed to be stirred into baking or melted into a topping, rather than used like plain peanut butter.
Can you bake peanut butter chips into cookies?
Yes. Fold them into cookie dough just before baking; they soften but generally keep their shape better than a spoonful of peanut butter. They also work in blondies, muffins and flapjacks.
How do you melt peanut butter chips smoothly?
Heat them gently in a dry bowl over barely simmering water, stirring often, or microwave in short bursts of about 15 seconds and stir between each. They can seize if overheated; a little neutral oil stirred in can loosen the melted mixture.
How should you store peanut butter chips?
Keep them tightly sealed in a cool, dry cupboard, away from sunlight and strong-smelling foods. In warm weather, refrigerate the sealed packet and let it come to room temperature before opening to limit condensation.
What can you use instead of peanut butter chips?
For a similar peanut flavour, chop peanut butter cups or mix small pieces of roasted peanuts with chocolate chips. For recipes where the chips need to melt into a smooth topping, use peanut butter and a little icing sugar instead.
Are peanut butter chips the same as peanut butter?
No: chips are sweetened and formulated to hold their shape, while peanut butter is a spread. Per 100 g, chips have 18 g of protein and 38 g of sugars; peanut butter has 26.1 g of protein and 12.2 g of carbohydrate.
Can you eat peanut butter chips straight from the packet?
Yes, they are ready to eat, though they are usually used as a baking ingredient or sweet topping. A small handful is an easy way to add them to porridge, yoghurt or a trail mix.
Do peanut butter chips contain peanuts?
They are made with peanut ingredients, so treat them as a peanut-containing food. If you are cooking for someone with a peanut allergy, do not serve them or use equipment that has been in contact with them.
