Golden Peanut Butter Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine flour, brown sugar, and egg in a large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture appears crumbly. Stir in chopped peanuts.
• Set 2 cups of the peanut crumble aside. Press remaining mixture into a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Bake crust in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
• Beat condensed milk, peanut butter, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl. Spread over the prepared crust. Top with reserved peanut crumble.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 25 minutes. Cool before cutting into bars.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Combine flour, brown sugar and egg; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in peanuts. Reserving 2 cups crumb mixture, press remaining mixture on bottom of 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
• In large bowl, with mixer, beat condensed milk with peanut butter and vanilla. Spread over prepared crust; top with reserved crumb mixture.
• Bake 25 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Cool. Cut into bars. Store leftovers covered at room temperature.

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl mix together melted butter & confectioners' sugar.
• 2. Next, add 2 cups preferred peanut butter until well blended. The mixture should have cooled to room temperature by this point.
• 3. Fold in rice crispies until well coated. Try to avoid over mixing which can crush the cereal.
• 4. In a 13x11 baking dish that has been lined with plastic wrap & lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, gently press mixture evenly into baking dish.
• 5. For the Topping: In the microwave, melt the chocolate chips stirring until smooth. (Heat approx 30-45 seconds at a time, then stir & repeat until fully melted. Be careful, the mixing dish can get extremely hot! You can use any preferred method for melting the chocolate.)
• 6. Next add the 4tbsp of peanut butter to the melted chocolate. Add a few extra chocolate chips, approx. 1 tbsp to temper the chocolate. Stir until completely incorporated. The chocolate will have a shine to it.
• 7. Allow to cool to about room temperature & pour on top of peanut butter mixture. (I let it cool for about 5 minutes or so.)
• 8. Chill uncovered in the refrigerator until set but not hard. Chocolate will begin to lose its shiny appearance. (approx. 1hr & 15min.)
• 9. Cut into pieces of desired size. (I use a pizza cutter.)
• 10. Cover & return to the refrigerator until chocolate has hardened completely. (Overnight is best.) The longer these are kept, the better they get.
