Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 5 tablespoons salted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup Ghirardelli chocolate melts

Instruction

  • Line parchment paper into an 8 x 8 inch baking dish.
  • Place butter, brown sugar and powdered sugar into a large mixing bowl. Mix until butter is incorporated into sugar and powdered sugar. It will not be creamy so no need to over mix. Stir in peanut butter and mix until dough forms. Dough will be stiff, mix until ingredients are combined. Press dough into prepared baking dish and either freeze for 30 minutes or refrigerate for a couple hours before adding melted chocolate.
  • When dough is firm, lift parchment sides out of pan and onto a counter top. Place chocolate melts into a microwave safe bowl and heat until melted and smooth. Spread melted chocolate evenly over peanut butter bars. Chocolate will set up quickly because peanut butter is cold. Work quickly as you spread chocolate. Use a knife to cut into squares. Serve bars chilled.
