Tips:
- Use real butter for the best flavor. If you use unsalted butter, be sure to add a pinch of salt to the dough.
- Brown the butter until it is a deep golden brown color and smells nutty. This will give the bars a rich, caramelized flavor.
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth and creamy texture. If you use crunchy peanut butter, the bars will have a more textured texture.
- Be sure to press the dough firmly into the pan before baking. This will help to prevent the bars from crumbling.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
