The Crispiest, Crunchiest Peanut Butter Desserts

The Crispiest, Crunchiest Peanut Butter Desserts

 
Friendships have been formed and relationships torn asunder over the classic peanut butter debate: Creamy or crunchy. But luckily, when it comes to peanut butter desserts, there's far less controversy. Pretty much everyone can agree that that something about the buttery, creamy flavor of peanut butter just begs for a bit of crunch alongside.

Doesn't matter whether that crunch comes from salty pretzels, crispy meringue, crunchy cookies, or just an extra helping of peanuts. Thanks to the scientifically proven combination of peanut butter and crunch, each and every one is sure to satisfy.

Case in point: This combination of chocolate cupcake, creamy peanut butter frosting, and an avalanche of crunchy peanuts and pretzels hits the spot without breaking a sweat.
 
Crunchy meringue layers packed with chopped with peanuts contrast with creamy peanut butter mousse. Oh, and there's chocolate, too.
 
This combination might be old hat, but it's classic for a reason: Nothing beats that crunchy-creamy peanut-butter combo.
 
Don't you want plenty of crunchy peanut brittle to pair with creamy vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce, and a smooth peanut-butter drizzle?

Another classic combination of crunchy and creamy peanuts, this one from the fridge instead of the freezer. Feel free to serve with even more chopped toasted peanuts for, you know, more crunch.
