How to Make 3 Layer Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, and cocoa powder. Mix until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  4. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Press half of the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and melted butter. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  7. Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the chocolate layer.
  8. Spread the remaining chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Let cool completely before cutting into bars. For the ganache, heat heavy cream until simmering. Pour over chopped chocolate and let sit for a minute, then whisk until smooth. Pour over the cooled bars and let set before serving.
