Categories     Brownies and Bars

Time 34m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup salted butter, softened
2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper, set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl beat butter and sugars until creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add in eggs and vanilla extract and beat until blended. Add in flour and baking soda.
  • Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Spread half of the dough (using fingertips) in the bottom of the baking dish. Dollop the peanut butter onto the dough. I used a 1 Tbsp cookie scoop to do this. Do not spread the peanut butter, drop by teaspoon or tablespoon instead.
  • Top with remaining cookie dough (it's okay if some of the peanut butter shows).
  • Bake in preheated oven for 22-24 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely in pan.
  • Cut into bars and enjoy.

Tips:

  • For a richer, creamier filling, use a high-quality peanut butter, such as all-natural peanut butter or peanut butter made with roasted peanuts.
  • If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking pan, you can use a 10x15 inch baking pan, but you will need to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • For a neater appearance, use a sharp knife to cut the bars.
  • If you are using a food processor to make the filling, be sure to process it until it is smooth and creamy.
  • You can store the chocolate peanut butter bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Conclusion:

These chocolate peanut butter bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a rich chocolate crust, creamy peanut butter filling, and smooth chocolate ganache topping, these bars are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
