I'd like for you to meet my old friends, Peanut Butter and Chocolate. They sure go well together. This recipe, given to me by a good friend, is a favorite after school treat for the boys.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (2 cubes, at room temperature)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1 cup chunky peanut butter
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup oats
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Directions
| Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add butter, sugars, and peanut butter into a large mixing bowl and beat until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until fluffy. Add in flour, oats, baking soda, and salt and beat until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Spread dough evenly into a large rimmed baking sheet (also known as a jelly roll pan). Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly brown and puffed all over. Remove from oven and cool until warm. | |
| Slice into bars and serve warm or at room temperature, with an ice-cold glass of milk. | |
Note
For a delicious dessert treat, top warm bars with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with warm chocolate sauce.
