How to Make Peanut Butter Bars With Milk Chocolate Frosting

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup peanut butter and ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and 2 large eggs. Beat until well combined.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup milk chocolate chips.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs.
