Time 55m

Yield 24 bars, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
2 cups creamy peanut butter (Skippy)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 cups raspberry jam or 1 1/2 cups other jam
2/3 cup salted peanuts, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease a 9x13x2" cake pan.
  • Line it with parchment paper, then grease and flour the pan.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light yellow, about 2 minutes.
  • With the mixer on low speed, add the vanilla, eggs and peanut butter and mix until ingredients are combined.
  • In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture.
  • Mix just until combined.
  • Spread 2/3 of the dough into the prepared cake pan and spread over the bottom witha knife or offset spatula.
  • Spread the jam evenly over the dough.
  • Drop small globs of the remaining dough evenly over the jam.
  • Don't worry if all the jam isn't covered; it will spread in the oven.
  • Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and bake for 45 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Cool and cut into squares.

The bars were a bit too crumbly. I think I would use a little less flour next time.

The bars were a bit too gooey. I think I would cook them for a little less time next time.

The bars were a bit dry. I think I would add a little more butter next time.

These bars were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter and jelly, but I actually really liked these bars. They're not too sweet and the peanut butter flavor is not overpowering. I would definitely make them again.

These bars are so versatile. You can use any type of jelly or jam that you like. I've even made them with Nutella before. They're always delicious.

I love that these bars can be made ahead of time. I often make a batch on the weekend and then have them on hand for snacks or dessert during the week.
