Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Step 6
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and immediately spread the creamy peanut butter over the hot bars. Let it sit for a minute to soften, then spread it evenly over the top.
Step 9
Sprinkle the semisweet chocolate chips evenly over the peanut butter layer and allow them to soften for a couple of minutes.
Step 10
Once softened, gently spread the chocolate with a spatula until it covers the peanut butter layer completely.
Step 11
Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature, or refrigerate them until set and firm.
Step 12
Once set, cut into squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
