PEANUT BUTTER ALPEN BARS
This is a recipe that I sort of made up using healthy ingredients that I like and want my children to eat. I warn you, they are addicting, especially if you LOVE peanut butter. I have tried other protien bar recipes but like the crunchiness that these bars afford. Plus with the powdered milk, you have calcium, too! Do try to use the brand names that I mention, they are healthy, high in protien, vitamins, and have no trans fats. ENJOY.

Steps:
- I bought all my ingredients except the Alpen at Wal----.
- Get out the mixer right now because there is no way that you can mix these ingredients well enough by hand.
- Put all ingredients in the bowl, mixing slowly at first until just about blended.
- Using a paddle or spoon, carefully fold melted chocolate chips into mix and mix and mix until well blended.
- Dump contents unto wax paper, topping with another piece of wax paper and press into about a 7" square.
- Slice into whatever size bar you like (I aim for around 21) remembering that peanut butter is extremely fattening.
- Refridgerate AFTER SLICING.
PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY BARS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease a 9 by 13 by 2-inch cake pan. Line it with parchment paper, then grease and flour the pan.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light yellow, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the vanilla, eggs, and peanut butter and mix until all ingredients are combined.
- In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture. Mix just until combined.
- Spread 2/3 of the dough into the prepared cake pan and spread over the bottom with a knife or offset spatula. Spread the jam evenly over the dough. Drop small globs of the remaining dough evenly over the jam. Don't worry if all the jam isn't covered; it will spread in the oven. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and bake for 45 minutes, until golden brown. Cool and cut into squares.

APPLE PEANUT BUTTER BARS
Tart apples dipped in peanut butter have always been one of my favorite snacks. These peanut butter apple bars are an ode to my childhood favorite granola bars and my never-ending craving for apples and PB!

Steps:
- Make the bars: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F with a rack in the center. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick spray, line the bottom with parchment paper, then spray the parchment.
- Melt the butter in a medium skillet and then pour into a medium heatproof bowl, reserving about 1 tablespoon of the butter in the skillet. Add the apples and 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar to the skillet, toss and cook over medium heat until the apples are softened and slightly shrunken and most of the juice has evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes.
- While the apples cook, whisk together the oats, flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda in a medium bowl and set aside.
- In the medium heatproof bowl, stir the brown sugar, remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar, peanut butter and vanilla into the melted butter. Add the egg and mix well to combine. Stir in the dry ingredients, mixing well, and then stir in the cooked apples and apple chips. The dough will be stiff.
- Spread the dough into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until evenly deep golden brown and the center feels firm to the touch. Place the pan on a wire rack and cool completely.
- Finish the bars: Remove the cooled bar from the pan. Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in a small microwaveable bowl in 8 second increments, stirring well after each until melted, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a sandwich bag, snip off a small opening at the tip and drizzle the white chocolate over the surface of the baked bar. Sprinkle with the apple chip pieces. Cut in half and then cut each half into 6 bars. Store covered at room temperature for up to 4 days.
PEANUT BARS
With peanut butter in both the batter and frosting, plus chopped nuts sprinkled on top, these treats have triple the goodness. It's one of my favorite recipes for peanut bars. -Ren Reed, Tavares, Florida

CHEWY PEANUT BUTTER-MARSHMALLOW BARS
Classic cereal treats for the peanut butter fanatic, these marshmallow bars call for cornflakes instead of Rice Krispies, making for a wonderfully chewy-crunchy contrast. Cornflakes are delicate, so the key here is to avoid crushing the cereal too much when mixing the ingredients. The end result should be airy and chewy, but not dense, with visible chunks of marshmallow throughout. This recipe comes together quickly, so have your ingredients measured and ready to add to the pot when you begin. Once the chocolate topping has set, these bars pack well for picnics or potlucks, but if you're concerned about the chocolate melting, you can skip it altogether and finish the bars with a sprinkle of sea salt.

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.

Tips:

- Don't over-mix the dough. Over-mixing will make the bars tough.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the bars hold their shape.
- Bake the bars until they are just set. Over-baking will make them dry.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape.
