Time 25m

Yield 24 bars, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold (or margarine)
1 cup peanuts, chopped (I just pour some in my food processor and chop until fine)
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated milk)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F
Combine flour, brown sugar and egg; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in peanuts. Reserving 2 cups crumb mixture, press remaining mixture on bottom of 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
In large bowl, with mixer, beat condensed milk with peanut butter and vanilla. Spread over prepared crust; top with reserved crumb mixture.
Bake 25 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Cool. Cut into bars. Store leftovers covered at room temperature.
