A peanut butter bar with chocolate chips and a chocolate topping.
Ingredients
1 cup creamy peanut butter
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1-1/4 cups sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups chocolate chips, divided
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. In large mixing bowl, beat peanut butter and butter until smooth, about 1 minute. Add sugar, eggs and vanilla, and beat until creamy. Blend in flour and salt. Stir in 1 cup of the chocolate chips. Spread into ungreased 13×9 inch baking pan. Bake about 22 minutes, or until edges begin to brown. Immediately sprinkle remaining chocolate chips over cookie layer. Let stand 5 minutes until chips become shiny and soft, spread the melted chocolate evenly over top. Cool completely at room temperature so that the chocolate doesn’t “bloom”. Cut into bars when the chocolate is firming up, but not completely hard.
Notes
- Our photo shows some Christmas sprinkles on the top. You can add those too!
