RETRO SCHOOL CAFETERIA PEANUT BUTTER BARS



Retro School Cafeteria Peanut Butter Bars image

It's taken me a while to find this recipe. There are many versions of "the peanut butter bar" but, I believe this recipe comes the closest to what I remember eating in the 1960's (via our elementary school lunchroom). Boy those ladies could really cook back then!

Time 1h5m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ⅛ cups white sugar
1 ⅛ cups brown sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
¾ cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ⅔ cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
2 cups powdered sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

This is a homemade version of the Twin Bing® candy bars from the 60s. They are rich and sweet and a small piece is a nice treat. These really are like candy, so cut in small pieces. A 1-inch square is sufficient! Store in a cool place in an airtight container, separating layers with waxed paper.

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 pinch salt
12 large marshmallows
2/3 cup evaporated milk
5 ounces cherry chips
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup finely chopped peanuts

Steps:

  • Combine sugar, butter, salt, marshmallows and evaporated milk to a boil, and boil for 5 minutes. Stir constantly as this mixture can scorch easily. Remove from heat, stir in cherry chip until melted and pour into a buttered 9 x 13 pan. Chill until set. Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter, either in microwave or on the stovetop, stir in peanuts. Pour over cherry mixture and chill again until set.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality semisweet chocolate for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the temperature of the melted chocolate by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the chocolate hardens immediately, it is ready to use.
  • To make the bars easier to cut, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
  • For a fun twist, try adding chopped nuts, dried fruit, or marshmallows to the melted chocolate before pouring it into the pan.
  • Bing Bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Bing Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make candy bar that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a classic treat that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give Bing Bars a try!
