Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Ingredients

1/2 cup dark brown sugar {packed}

2 2/3 cups confectioners' sugar

1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons softened unsalted butter {divided}

1 3/4 cups creamy peanut butter

10 ounces milk chocolate chips

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate {chopped}

Instructions

Cut a piece of parchment paper big enough to line a standard sized brownie pan, with a bit of overhang. Grease the brownie pan & lay in the parchment paper.

Combine the brown sugar, confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup butter & peanut butter. Blend until smooth. Dump the mixture out into the pan & press it down, making it as even as possible.

Melt the chocolates & 2 tablespoons of butter in a double boiler, or in a heat-proof bowl set over simmering water. Stir occasionally to combine. Spread the melted chocolate over the peanut butter base & smooth out the surface.

Put the pan in the refrigerator, until the chocolate is set. Remove the bars from the pan by lifting on the overhang of parchment paper & slice into squares using a sharp knife.
