Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars


A simple dessert or after school snack, try the following easy and simple peanut butter bars the kids will ask for over and over.



Ingredients:


1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
12 tbsp (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup peanut butter
1 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp unsalted butter



Instructions:



1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9 x 13 baking pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper leaving an overhang.



2.In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.



3.Using a separate bowl, cream 12 tablespoons butter, peanut butter and sugar together until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix in the dry ingredients and continue beating until combined.



4.Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and use your hand to spread the dough evenly throughout the pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Cool the cookie to room temperature on a wire rack in the pan.



5.Meanwhile, using a double boiler, combine the chocolate and cream and begin melting to create the ganache. Stir frequently. When the chocolate is melted, add 1 tablespoon of butter and stir until it’s incorporated. Pour the ganache over the top of the cookie and spread evenly using a spatula. Allow time for the ganache to set (approximately 30-40 minutes) before cutting. You may also place the pan in the freezer to speed up the process.
