A blondie lover's dream, these bars are moist, dense and chewy. Perfect for a bake sale or as a take-a-long. They can also be cut into 1-inch bites for a large party.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield about 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 13

Cooking spray
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks (6 ounces) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips (about 12 1/2 ounces)
1/2 cup chopped salted peanuts (about 2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13by-9-inch baking pan with foil, letting the excess hang over the edges of the pan by about 1 inch (this will help you lift the bar easily from the pan in one piece). Spray the pan with cooking spray.
  • Mix the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugars until combined. Use a whisk or a rubber spatula to mix in the egg, egg yolk, peanut butter and vanilla until smooth. Fold in the flour mixture until just combined (be careful not to over mix the dough or the bars will be tough). Fold in the chocolate chips and the peanuts.
  • Scrape the dough into the prepared pan, pressing and smoothing the top with a rubber spatula. Bake until the top is slightly golden and firm to the touch and the edges are starting to pull away from the sides of the pan, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Lift up on the foil overhang to remove the bar from the pan, and transfer it to a cutting board. Use a ruler to cut it into 2-inch squares.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chocolate. Not all chocolates are created equal. For this recipe, you'll want to use a semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%. This will give your peanut butter cups a rich, chocolatey flavor.
  • Use smooth peanut butter. Crunchy peanut butter can be used, but it will give your peanut butter cups a different texture. If you prefer a smooth filling, use smooth peanut butter.
  • Chill the peanut butter cups before serving. This will help them set up and make them easier to handle.
  • Get creative with your toppings. You can top your peanut butter cups with anything you like, such as chopped peanuts, sprinkles, or even bacon bits.

Conclusion:

Chocolate peanut butter cups are a classic treat that is loved by people of all ages. They're easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying snack that is sure to please everyone.
