Ingredients

½ cup (1 stick) butter , slightly melted
1 cup light brown sugar , packed
1 large egg , whisked
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup creamy peanut butter , I prefer Jif's or Skippy for this recipe
1 cup all-purpose flour , divided
1 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon Kosher salt
½ cup Reese's Pieces , or chopped reese's
½ cup peanut butter chips , or chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x9" pan. Lightly dust with flour or line with parchment paper or foil. Gather ingredients.
Whisk 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup brown sugar in a large bowl or use a handheld mixer. Add in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla and stir until combined. Then add in the 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter and mix until combined.
Mix in 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Fold in 1/2 cup Reese's Pieces and 1/2 cup peanut butter chips and mix just until combined.
Press the dough into the pan (flour your hands if you need to). Press extra Reese's Pieces and peanut butter chips on top if you’d like.
Bake for 18-23 minutes or until a toothpick comes clean. The dough should be soft in the center and the edges lightly golden.
Allow bars to cool and then slice into 9 bars.

Notes

Variation: Alternatively you could use peanut butter M&M's instead or chopped up Reese's peanut butter cups.
