3/4 cup butter

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter ((plus more for spreading over baked bars))

1/4 cup butter
1 Tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 Tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugar and brown sugar.

  • In a separate bowl mix together the dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients to creamy mixture.
  • Press firmly into a greased 9x13'' pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 17-21 minutes. Do not over-bake! They will look just barely set in the center, and they will harden as they cool. Allow to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, spread a thin layer of peanut butter over the bars.
