Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
---
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
3. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until combined.
4. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix gently until just combined (don’t overmix).
5. Fold in chocolate chips.
6. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are fine).
8. Let cool in the pan before slicing into bars.
Tips:
For extra indulgence, sprinkle sea salt on top right after baking.
Use chunky peanut butter for a little crunch.
Drizzle melted chocolate or warm peanut butter over the cooled bars for presentation.
