Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Bars

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup peanut butter
  • � cup unsalted butter
  • 1� cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • � tsp vanilla
  • � cup sweetened condensed milk
  • � cup chocolate chips
  • � cup peanut butter chips (or butterscotch chips)

Directions

  1. Combine the peanut butter and unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 30-45 seconds, or until all of the butter has melted. Stir until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add the melted peanut butter mixture to the dry ingredients along with the vanilla. Stir together until evenly combined.
  4. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of an 8" x 8" pan lined with parchment paper. Make sure that the crumbs are in an even layer covering the bottom of the pan completely.
  5. Pour the sweetened condensed milk in an even layer over top of the crust, using an offset spatula to carefully spread it out to the corners and sides.
  6. Sprinkle the peanut butter and chocolate chips evenly over the top.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes at 325F, or until the edges are golden and set. Cool the bars completely in the pan before removing and slicing.
