Tips:

- Use room temperature ingredients, especially butter and eggs, to ensure proper mixing and a smooth batter. - Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy to incorporate air and create a rich texture. - Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to prevent curdling. - Stir in the dry ingredients, including flour, baking soda, and salt, until just combined to avoid overmixing and a tough batter. - Fold in the raisins and chopped peanuts gently to distribute them evenly throughout the batter. - Use a baking pan lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and easy removal of the bars. - Bake the bars in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. - Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting into squares or bars for serving.
