Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Bars
These bars are the perfect combination of rich chocolate and creamy peanut butter, making them an ideal snack for any chocolate lover. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter (the creamy kind – no one wants gritty bars!)
- ½ cup brown sugar (because we’re sweetening the deal)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (yes, I know, but we really want these to be sweet!)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (the secret ingredient that makes everything better)
- 2 eggs (because these bars need a bit of binding love)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (the must-have for any baking adventure)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda (to help these babies rise)
- ½ teaspoon salt (just a pinch to make it pop)
- 1 cup chocolate chunks (go big or go home!)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan. We want these bars to come out easily like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat!
- In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined and creamy—about 2-3 minutes of good mixing.
- Add in the vanilla extract and eggs, mixing until those ingredients are all snuggled together in happy harmony.
- Gradually stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined; nobody likes over-mixed treats!
- Now for the best part—fold in those chocolate chunks as if you’re tucking in a cozy blanket. Make sure every bite will have a melty surprise!
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. It’s thick, but don’t worry; it’ll spread as it bakes.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and you’re greeted with that delicious aroma of baking goodness. The middle may be a touch gooey, but that’s just part of their charm.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before slicing them into squares. (Remember, patience is key! Or at least grab a snack while you wait!)
Now, it’s time to dig in and enjoy these heavenly Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Bars. Trust me, one bite and you’ll be asking for seconds (and possibly thirds). Happy baking!
