Tips:

  • Use a good quality peanut butter. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your bars. Look for a peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts and no added sugar or salt.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough and dry. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a 9x13 inch baking pan. This will give you the perfect size bars.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set. Overbaking will make the bars dry and crumbly. A toothpick inserted into the center of the bars should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These gooey peanut butter cup bars are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are easy to make and always a hit with friends and family. So next time you are looking for a delicious and decadent dessert, give these bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
