Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup ground cocktail peanuts
  • 1/2 cup chopped cocktail peanuts
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup peanut butter creamy or chunky
  • 1 cup of grape jelly
  • 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Grease and flour a 10” round tart pan.* The tart pans with the lift-off bottom are best.
  2. Cut the butter into small pieces
  3. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground and chopped peanuts, sugar in a bowl.
  4. Beat the eggs in a small separate bowl and add to the streusel mix.
  5. Add the butter and use a fork, or easier, the dough hook of your mixer to knead everything together to form streusel.
  6. Separate out 1/3 of the mixture and press it into the pan to create the crust. I used a kitchen scale to measure.
