Peanut Butter Swirl Bars image

This is one of my husbands favorite recipes to whip up and give to new neighbors, take to a pot luck, or hoard at home with a bowl of ice cream.

Time 30m

Yield 12 squares, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter (we like Jiff)
1/3 cup softened margarine
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cream together peanut butter, margarine, brown and white sugar.
  • Add eggs and vanilla.
  • Sift or mix together flour, baking powder and salt and add to mixture.
  • Spread in a greased 9x13 pan and sprinkle chocolate chips over top.
  • Bake for 3 minutes.
  • Remove pan and swirl melted chocolate chips through peanut butter mixture with a butter knife. We make it look like a huge serpentine snake going through the mixture, as opposed to circle swirls.
  • Return pan to oven and bake 15 minutes more.
