The kids I baby-sit for love these moist chewy bars. There's plenty of peanut butter flavor plus a yummy chocolate frosting and a sprinkling of peanut butter chips. Ingredients:
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter |
2/3 cup butter, softened |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-3/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/3 cup milk |
1 cup peanut butter chips |
frosting: |
1/4 cup butter, softened |
1/4 cup baking cocoa |
2 tablespoons milk |
1 tablespoon light corn syrup |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1/3 cup peanut butter chips |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream the peanut butter, butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour and baking powder; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Stir in chips.
2. Spread into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 325° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (do not overbake). Cool on a wire rack.
3. For frosting, in a small bowl, combine the butter, cocoa, milk, corn syrup and vanilla. Gradually add confectioners' sugar; beat until smooth. Frost brownies. Sprinkle with chips. Cut into bars. Yield: 2 dozen.
