Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13by-9-inch baking pan with foil, letting the excess hang over the edges of the pan by about 1 inch (this will help you lift the bar easily from the pan in one piece). Spray the pan with cooking spray.
• Mix the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugars until combined. Use a whisk or a rubber spatula to mix in the egg, egg yolk, peanut butter and vanilla until smooth. Fold in the flour mixture until just combined (be careful not to over mix the dough or the bars will be tough). Fold in the chocolate chips and the peanuts.
• Scrape the dough into the prepared pan, pressing and smoothing the top with a rubber spatula. Bake until the top is slightly golden and firm to the touch and the edges are starting to pull away from the sides of the pan, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
• Lift up on the foil overhang to remove the bar from the pan, and transfer it to a cutting board. Use a ruler to cut it into 2-inch squares.

CHEWY PEANUT BUTTER-MARSHMALLOW BARS

Steps:

• Grease a 9-inch square pan with butter and sprinkle 1/2 cup/17 grams of the cornflakes on the bottom of the pan.
• In a large pot, melt the 6 tablespoons/85 grams butter over medium-low heat. Add the marshmallows and kosher salt, and cook, stirring often, until about half of the marshmallows have melted but the mixture is not completely smooth. Add the peanut butter and mix until just combined, keeping some lumps of marshmallow.
• Take the pan off the heat, and working quickly, add about half the remaining 5½ cups cornflakes, folding them into the marshmallow mixture as gently as possible to avoid crushing the cereal. Repeat with the remaining cornflakes. If the mixture becomes too sticky to work with, briefly return the pot to the heat on low.
• Working quickly, transfer the mixture to the prepared pan, using a wet spoon or spatula to spread and pat into an even layer, again being careful to avoid crushing or packing the cereal.
• Place the chocolate in a small heatproof bowl and microwave it in 15-second intervals, stirring between intervals, until melted and smooth. Drizzle the chocolate over the bars in overlapping lines. (If using chocolate chips, scatter the chips onto the surface of the bars while they are still warm and let sit for 5 minutes, allowing the heat of the cornflakes to melt the chocolate before dragging a fork or toothpick through it to create lines.) Sprinkle the bars lightly with flaky sea salt, and set aside at room temperature (in a cool spot, if possible) until completely set, about 2 hours.
• Cut into bars and serve. Bars will keep, wrapped well at room temperature, for up to 3 days.
