Description
Chewy, rich dessert bars combining creamy peanut butter and sweet butterscotch chips for a nostalgic, crowd-pleasing treat. Perfect for sharing.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with butter.
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, then let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda. Gradually mix into wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in butterscotch chips evenly throughout the batter.
- Spread batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool completely on a wire rack, then lift out and cut into bars.
Notes
For extra flavor, sprinkle sea salt on top before baking. Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
