How to Make Butterscotch Peanut Butter Bars Squares
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) brown sugar and ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- While the bars are baking, prepare the frosting: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup creamy peanut butter and ¼ cup heavy cream.
- Microwave on low power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and creamy.
- Once the bars are baked, let them cool completely in the pan before spreading the peanut butter frosting evenly over the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set before cutting into bars.
