Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 3/4 cup peanut butter
• 1 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 12 ounces milk chocolate chips (reserve 1/3 cup to sprinkle on top if desired)

Preparation

Step 1

Grease a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. When melted, remove from heat. Whisk in peanut butter until melted. Stir in sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Fold in flour and baking powder, then stir in chocolate chips (reserve 1/3 cup to sprinkle on top of bars if desired).

Immediately transfer batter to prepared pan. Sprinkle reserved chocolate chips on top, then bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown on top. My brownies took a few minutes longer. Don't overbake them though!

Cool and then cut into squares to enjoy!
