Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cups Light brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups Creamy peanut butter
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 2 tablespoons Creamy peanut butter (for icing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined and smooth.

Step 4

Add the creamy peanut butter to the wet mixture and stir until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 11

While the bars cool, prepare the chocolate peanut butter icing. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder.

Step 12

Add the milk and creamy peanut butter to the powdered sugar mixture, stirring until smooth and creamy.

Step 13

Once the bars are completely cooled, spread the icing evenly on top.

Step 14

Cut into 16 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
