Equipment

  • 8 x 8 baking dish
  • parchment paper
  • mixing bowl
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • knife to cut bars into squares

Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
