Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture, beating well until incorporated.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to smooth it out evenly.

  6. Sprinkle the semisweet chocolate chips over the top of the batter, gently pressing them into the dough.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  8. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

  9. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Place them on a cutting board and cut into squares or bars of your desired size.

  10. Serve these delectable Peanut Butter Bars as a tasty treat for yourself or share them with friends and family for a deliciously satisfying snack.
