Name: Frozen Chocolate-Peanut Butter Decadence
Ingredients: 1 1/4 cups (packed) dark brown sugar; 1 cup chilled whipping cream, divided; 3 large egg yolks; 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature; 1 1/4 cups creamy peanut butter; 1 1/2 cups whipping cream; 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter; 4 teaspoons dark corn syrup; 12 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped; 1/2 cup coarsely chopped roasted salted peanuts

Basil Tsiokos of Newburgh, New York, writes: "My best friend and I recently spent a week at Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain, a spa resort near Scottsdale, Arizona. Our goal was major exercise and minor calories, but on the last night we splurged at Elements with the richest dessert we could find — slices of chocolate-glazed frozen peanut butter mousse."

Don't use natural-style peanut butter for this recipe; do start making it the day before serving.
