Why You’ll Love These Bars

• No mixer required! Yep, you melt the butter and then you can use a whisk or spatula to make the dough. Super fast and easy, and no special tools to get out or wash.
• Customizable. This is a very basic recipe that you can play with and make your own. I used semi-sweet chocolate, but you can use any chocolate you like or even mix up the chocolate! Dark and peanut butter chips would be a fun combo. Or add nuts! Really whatever you like.
• Chewy Perfection. These bars are super soft and chewy with just the right amount of peanut butter. So if you love a chewy cookie and the peanut butter and chocolate combo, you are going to love these!

• Butter – I like to always bake with unsalted to control the salt
• Brown Sugar
• Egg
• Vanilla Extract
• Peanut Butter
• All-Purpose Flour
• Baking Powder
• Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

How To Make Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars

• Mix. In a bowl mix together the melted butter with the brown sugar, egg, vanilla and creamy peanut butter. You can use a spatula or whisk to mix until it is nice and smooth and well combined.
• Fold. Add in the flour and baking powder and you want to mix until most of the flour is incorporated, but a few white streaks remaining is fine.
• Add Chocolate. Add in the chocolate chips and mix until they are just evenly distributed and the flour is completely incorporate. Do not mix too much or your bars won’t be as soft and chewy.
• Bake. Pour the dough into an 8-inch baking pan and bake for about 25 minutes, until they are dry on the top and a tester comes out mostly clean.
• Cool. Remove them from the oven and let cool before slicing to serve.

What Kind Of Peanut Butter To Use

This is one of those recipes that you really want to use the commercial brand like Skippy or Jif for. Natural peanut butters tend to separate and your bars won’t be the ideal texture when you bake them.

Peanut Allergies? If you have peanut allergies, you can use something like Cookie Butter or Biscoff Spread in this recipe. If you have a nut butter substitute that is no-stir and does not separate, it should work in this recipe, but I haven’t actually tested it.
