Equipment
Ingredients
Dough:
- ½ cup salted butter melted
- 2 cups brown sugar
- ⅔ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ⅔ cups chocolate chips milk or semi sweet
Topping:
- ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Spray a 9 x 13-inch pan with cooking spray. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Melt the butter in a large glass bowl. Add the brown sugar and peanut butter and whisk until very smooth. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the peanut butter mixture. Stir just until barely combined. Fold in the 1 2/3 cups of chocolate chips.
- Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Drop small dollops of the 1/3 cup peanut butter evenly over the dough; swirl with a knife. Sprinkle the 1/3 cup of chocolate chips over the top.
- Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes, or until the middle is set and the edges are golden brown.
- Let the bars cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
Notes
- If you are using unsalted butter, add an additional 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Leftover bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
