Time 40m

Yield 15 bars

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature, plus more for greasing
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup plus 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
6 ounces butterscotch chips (about 1 cup)
1 cup confectioners' sugar
4 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish with butter.
  • Using an electric mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and 1/2 cup of the peanut butter. Add the egg and vanilla. Sift the flour with the baking soda and the salt. Mix the oatmeal into the flour and stir the flour into the creamed mixture. Spread the batter in the baking pan. Sprinkle the butterscotch chips over the batter and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until browned around the edges.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 16 bars

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
About 1 1/2 cups pretzel sticks

Steps:

  • Line an 8- or 9- inch square baking pan with foil.
  • Melt 8 tablespoons of the butter and add to a large bowl. Add the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, vanilla and 1 cup of peanut butter and stir until well combined. Transfer the peanut butter mixture to the prepared baking pan and smooth with an offset spatula to create an even layer.
  • Combine the chocolate chips, the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the remaining tablespoon peanut butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted. Alternatively, this can be done over a double boiler. Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter and smooth with an offset spatula. Arrange the pretzel sticks on the surface of the chocolate, pressing them lightly to adhere. Refrigerate until hardened, about 1 1/2 hours. Cut into squares to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose quality ingredients. Use high-quality chocolate, peanut butter, and pretzels to ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a good quality non-stick baking pan. This will prevent the chocolate from sticking and make it easier to cut into squares.
  • Chill the chocolate mixture before adding the pretzels and peanut butter. This will help to prevent the chocolate from getting too soft and melting.
  • Press the pretzels and peanut butter firmly into the chocolate mixture. This will help to ensure that they adhere and don't fall apart.
  • Chill the squares for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
