1. First we need to preheat the oven to 350ºF and spray our baking pan with cooking spray. A 9-inch square baking pan will work best!
2. Next we need to prep the potatoes. Peel them and slice them thinly. Then layer them into the sprayed baking pan and bake until the potatoes are just getting crisp, about 10 minutes should do the trick. Take the baking. pan out of the oven and set it aside to be layered with other ingredients.
3. When the potatoes are in the oven prepare your skillet with cooking spray and put it over medium high heat. Saute the garlic, onion, peppers, and mushrooms until tender. About 7 minutes should do the trick. Remove them from the pan and cover to keep warm.
4. Next add the turkey to the skillet and brown it, about 8-10 minutes should be enough. Add back in the cooked vegetables, cumin, salt and pepper, and combine. Then layer the mixture over the potatoes in our baking pan.
5. Finally, get a microwave safe bow and combine the cheese, evaporated milk and crushed red pepper flakes. Cover and microwave on high until the cheese is melted. About 2 minutes should be plenty. Stir and then spoon over the turkey mixture. Sprinkle with tortilla strips and bake for 35 minutes.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

• 1 cup dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet for a sweeter flavor)
• 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (look for one with no added sugar or oils)
• 1 cup crushed peanuts (unsalted, for the best flavor)
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for a smoother chocolate)

Optional Ingredients

• Pinch of sea salt (to enhance flavor)
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (for added sweetness, if desired)

Equipment Needed

1. Microwave-safe bowls: For melting chocolate and peanut butter.
2. Small baking pan (8×8 inch or similar): To set the treats.
3. Parchment paper: For easy removal of treats from the pan.
4. Mixing spoon or spatula: For combining ingredients.
5. Measuring cups and spoons: For accurate measurements.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Pan

1. Line the Pan: Start by lining an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. This will prevent sticking and make it easier to remove the treats once set. Allow some overhang on the sides for easy lifting later.

Step 2: Melt the Chocolate

2. Microwave the Chocolate: Place 1 cup of dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 60 seconds. After 30 seconds, pause and stir the chocolate to promote even melting. If necessary, return it to the microwave for an additional 10-15 seconds until fully melted and smooth.
3. Optional Coconut Oil: If you want a creamier texture, add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to the melted chocolate and stir until well combined. This step is optional but helps create a glossy finish.

Step 3: Melt the Peanut Butter

4. Microwave the Peanut Butter: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, add 1/2 cup of natural peanut butter. Microwave for 60 seconds until it is smooth and pourable. Stir well to ensure it’s evenly melted.
5. Combine Ingredients: Pour the melted peanut butter into the bowl with the melted chocolate. Mix thoroughly until both are fully combined, creating a rich chocolate-peanut butter mixture.

Step 4: Add the Peanuts

6. Incorporate Crushed Peanuts: Take 1 cup of crushed peanuts and add them to the chocolate-peanut butter mixture. Stir gently to combine, ensuring that the peanuts are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
7. Adjust Sweetness (Optional): If desired, add a tablespoon of maple syrup or honey to the mixture for extra sweetness. This is particularly useful if you prefer a sweeter treat.

Step 5: Pour and Set

8. Pour into Prepared Pan: Pour the mixture into the lined baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Make sure to push the mixture into the corners of the pan for an even layer.
9. Top with Remaining Peanuts: Sprinkle the remaining crushed peanuts on top of the mixture for added texture and flavor. Gently press them down to ensure they stick.

Step 6: Chill and Cut

10. Refrigerate to Set: Place the baking pan in the refrigerator and allow the mixture to chill for at least 1-2 hours or until fully set. This step is crucial for achieving a firm texture that can be easily cut into bars.
11. Cut into Squares: Once set, lift the treats out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Place them on a cutting board and cut into squares or bars of your desired size.

Step 7: Store and Enjoy

12. Store Properly: Store the chocolate peanut butter treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep for up to a week, though they are best enjoyed fresh.
13. Serve and Share: Enjoy these delicious treats as a satisfying snack or dessert. They make a great addition to lunch boxes or as a post-workout fuel.
