Best Peanut Butter Bars Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the butter or margarine, graham cracker crumbs, confectioners' sugar, and 1 cup peanut butter until well blended. Press evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan.
• In a metal bowl over simmering water, or in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave, melt the chocolate chips with the 4 tablespoons peanut butter, stirring occasionally until smooth. Spread over the prepared crust. Refrigerate for at least one hour before cutting into squares.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugar and brown sugar together.
• Add vanilla, eggs, and 1 cup of the peanut butter; stir to combine.
• Add oats, flour, baking soda and salt and mix until well combined.
• Spray a baking sheet (half sheet jelly roll pan that is approximately 17.8 x 12.8 x 1 inch) with nonstick cooking spray and spread out dough in an even layer.
• Bake for 15 minutes and remove from oven.
• Drop remaining peanut butter (about 1 1/2 cups) by very small spoonfuls (we use a baby spoon) all over on top of warm bars. Let set for about 5-6 minutes and gently spread when peanut butter has begun to melt. It will spread easily when the peanut butter has softened on the warm bars. Don't try to spread it while still thick.
• Then let the bars cool until peanut butter has set up.
• While cooling, mix together frosting ingredients with a hand mixer until smooth and spread on top of bars.
• Cut into bars and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Mix flour, brown sugar, peanut butter, butter, milk, egg, vanilla extract, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl. Fold chocolate chips into the batter. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 20 minutes.
