How to Make Peanut Butter Chips And Jelly Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder.
  3. Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Beat 1 large egg and stir it into the crumb mixture until just combined.
  5. Reserve 1 cup of the crumb mixture in a separate bowl.
  6. Press the remaining crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  7. Gently stir your favorite jelly (about 1 cup) to soften it.
  8. Spread the softened jelly evenly over the crust.
  9. Sprinkle 1 cup peanut butter chips over the jelly layer.
  10. Stir the remaining ⅔ cup peanut butter chips into the reserved crumb mixture.
  11. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the peanut butter chips and jelly.
  12. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bars are lightly golden brown.
  13. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting.
  14. Once cool, cut into 16 bars.
