Recipe Card
For the peanut butter bars
ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 (7 ounce) jar Marshmallow Fluff, for topping
For the peanut butter filling
ingredients
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Step 4
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 5
Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
Step 6
While the bars are cooling, prepare the peanut butter filling. In a medium bowl, beat together peanut butter and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Beat until smooth and creamy, adding an additional tablespoon of heavy cream if needed to achieve a spreadable consistency.
Step 7
Using the back of a spoon or an offset spatula, spread the peanut butter filling over the warm bars in the pan.
Step 8
Warm the Marshmallow Fluff in the microwave for a few seconds to make it easier to spread. Spread the Fluff over the peanut butter filling.
Step 9
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. Serve at room temperature.
