How to Make Peanut Butter Squares With Chocolate Frosting
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with moist crumbs.
- Let the squares cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- Once cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting (recipe below or use store-bought).
