List of Ingredients
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
1/3 cup soft butter
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 (12-ounce) package mini chocolate chips
Recipe
Combine peanut butter, butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla; beat until creamy. Sift together flour and baking powder; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Fold in chips. Spread into greased and floured jelly roll pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until it tests done.
Note: There are two ways of using the chips in these bars. One time you can not fold the chips into the batter but will bake the plain batter for 30 minutes, then sprinkle the chips on top and return to the oven and when chips are soft. With a knife, you can marbleize the bars by running the knife through the batter and chips. Another time, you can add chips to the batter and frost the bars with chocolate frosting. Both ways are very good, but I folded the chips into the bars, topped the bars while still hot with additional chips, let them melt and spread to cover, then sprinkled finely chopped peanuts on top.
