Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars

These are great if you love any combo of peanut butter and chocolate like I do!  They're chewy, slightly gooey and have the perfect balance of salty peanut butter and rich chocolate.  I found them on one of my favorite blogs, Sing For Your Supper.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars
Originally from Bake at 350

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup peanut butter (I used creamy)
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon course salt (I used Kosher)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350.  Lightly grease an 8x8" pan.
Mix together flour, salt and baking powder.  Set aside.
Cream the butter and peanut butter together until smooth.  Beat in the sugars until combined.  Add the vanilla and then the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.  Mix in the flour mixture.  Stir in the chips.
Spread the batter into the pan.  Bake for 30-32 minutes.  Cool completely before cutting.

Note: This recipe can be doubled and baked in a 9x13" pan.
