Peanut Butter Pie Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter together in a bowl until cracker crumbs are moistened. Press evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 7 minutes.
• Mix peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, honey, and vanilla extract together in a mixing bowl; stir in brown sugar. Fold flour into peanut butter mixture until well incorporated.
• Spread peanut butter mixture over graham cracker crust. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and peanut butter chips.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chips start to melt, 13 to 15 minutes. Cool before cutting into squares.

Steps:

• For the filling: Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan with some butter.
• Using a stand or electric hand mixer, mix together the butter and chunky peanut butter until smooth. Stir in the sugar a cup at a time.
• Add the vanilla wafers to a food processor and process until they are in crumbs. Then add the crumbs and mini chocolate chips to the peanut butter mixture. Spread it evenly into the buttered pan and set aside.
• For the frosting: Using a double boiler or a microwave, melt the chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes, then pour over the base. Spread the frosting out evenly and sprinkle over the chopped peanuts. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, then cut into 20 bars.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Grease two 13x9-in. baking pans., In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar and peanut butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour and baking powder; add to creamed mixture alternately with water and milk, beating well after each addition., Transfer to prepared baking pans. Bake 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Meanwhile, for frosting, in a large bowl, beat peanut butter and butter until blended. Beat in confectioners' sugar alternately with enough milk to reach spreading consistency., Remove cakes from oven; place on wire racks. Spread frosting over warm cakes; sprinkle with peanuts. Cool completely.

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:

• Mix crust ingredients and press into a 9x13 greased baking pan (or use 2 8-inch pie pans). Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Remove and cool.
• Microwave peanut butter and butter until soft, mix until well blended. Stir in powdered sugar until soft dough forms. Carefully spread over cooled crust.
• In small bowl, mix milk and pudding mix. Spread over peanut butter layer. Chill until firm, several hours or overnight.
• Top with whipped topping. Garnish with shaved chocolate, if desired.
• May substitute pre-made graham cracker crust if desired.

Steps:

• Make the base: Heat butter in a pot or skillet, letting it melt and bubble and turn brown. It will smell nutty. Add peanut butter, and turn off the heat. (If your nut butter is unsalted, add a pinch of salt.) Stir it all around until the peanut butter melts, then stir in crumbs.
• Sweeten the mix to taste with confectioners' sugar. That could mean 1 cup, but try it as you go.
• Spread the mixture into parchment or foil lined 8-by-8-inch pan, but really, any pan will work.
• Make the topping: Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a small pot, and melt the chocolate on the stovetop over low heat, stirring constantly. (Alternatively, add to a microwaveable bowl, and microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring in between each one.)
• Spread the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer. Sprinkle any of the toppings over, and refrigerate until the peanut butter and chocolate layers are set, about 1 hour or so. Cut these into bars or squares with a knife, or use cookie cutters for shapes. (Store in the refrigerator after cutting; they'll melt in a warm room.)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8- or 9-inch square pan and line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two of the sides.
• In a large bowl, stir together butter, peanut butter, brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add egg and vanilla and beat to combine. Add flour, salt and baking powder and stir to combine.
• Press about two-thirds of the dough into the prepared pan. In a separate bowl, toss berries with remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Scatter berry and sugar mixture over dough, then crumble remaining dough over top, pulling it apart into big crumbs.
• Bake on the middle rack until golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Sprinkle with flaky salt, if using. Let cool completely before slicing into squares. Store, covered in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• For Crust, in large bowl with electric mixer, beat flour, sugar, margarine and salt until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In 13 x 9-inch baking pan coated with nonstick cooking spray, firmly press crumbs into bottom and 1/4-inch up sides. Bake 15 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
• For Filling, in large bowl, beat eggs, corn syrup, sugar, Peanut Butter, margarine and vanilla until well blended. Stir in peanuts. Evenly pour mixture over hot crust. Bake 20 minutes or until filling is firm around edges and slightly firm in center. On wire rack, cool completely. To serve, cut into bars.
