Ingredients

Scale
  1. 2 cups flour
  2. 2 cups sugar
  3. 1 ½ cups peanut butter
  4. 3 sticks butter
  5. 1 tsp baking soda
  6. 1 tsp vanilla extract
  7. 1 tsp salt
  8. 4 cups powdered sugar
  9. 2 eggs
  10. ½ cup milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a cookie sheet and set aside.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
  • Combine peanut butter and butter: Melt the butter and peanut butter in a saucepan over low heat. Once melted, mix this with the dry ingredients and then add the egg mixture. Stir until well combined.
  • Bake the bars: Spread the batter evenly on the greased cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
  • Make the frosting: Melt butter and peanut butter, then mix in milk and powdered sugar to form a smooth frosting.
  • Frost the bars: Spread the peanut butter frosting evenly over the cooled bars.
  • Let the frosting set for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra peanut butter flavor, you can sprinkle some chopped peanuts on top of the frosting.
  • Let the bars cool completely before frosting to ensure the frosting doesn’t melt into the bars.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
