CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CRUNCH BARS
My twist on rice crispy bars includes crunchy crushed pretzels. Then I top them with a creamy peanut butter coating and rich chocolate topping. Garnished with peanuts and even more pretzels, I don't think I'd ever go back to plain old bars again. -Sherri Melotik, Oak Creek, Wisconsin

DOUBLE CRUNCH PEANUT BUTTER AND JAM BARS
These bars are fantastic! The crunchy peanut butter and the peanuts give a nice texture to the bars. And, the cookie is not overly sweet. It goes perfectly with the cherry jam. Can't find superfine sugar? No problem! You can make it yourself by processing regular granulated sugar in your food processor until it's very fine. A...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and dust a 9 x 13 baking pan with the 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons flour. Shake out the excess flour.
- 2. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light yellow, about 2 minutes, and nice and smooth.
- 3. With a clean hand, rub the oil on the inside of a 2-cup measuring cup before measuring the peanut butter. It won't stick that way.
- 4. With the mixer on low, add the vanilla, eggs, and peanut butter and mix until well combined.
- 5. In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture. Mix just until combined.
- 6. Spread two thirds of the dough in the prepared pan, using a knife to spread it evenly. Spread the jam evenly over the dough. Add the remaining dough by the tablespoonful and spread gently over the jam. The remaining batter will not completely cover the jam which is a good thing since the beautiful cherry jam will shine through. Sprinkle with the chopped peanuts.
- 7. Bake for 45 minutes, until golden brown. Cool and cut into 20 bars.
Tips:
- For a chewier bar, use 1/2 cup of corn syrup instead of 1/4 cup.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar syrup by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- Be careful not to overcook the sugar syrup, as it will become too hard and brittle.
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent the bars from sticking.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting them into pieces.
