THE REAL CAFETERIA PEANUT BUTTER BARS



The Real Cafeteria Peanut Butter Bars image

These are exactly like the ones I grew up with in the 80's! You can half the recipe and use a 9x13; I like to make a bunch and either freeze them or gobble them. (I have five kids...they usually get gobbled! ;) Sometimes I leave off the chocolate chip layer, put the PB frosting directly on top of the bars, and smother with Texas sheet cake icing instead. YUM!

Tips

  • Use high-quality peanut butter: The better the peanut butter, the better the bars will taste. Look for a peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts and has no added sugar or salt.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a 9x13 inch baking pan: This is the standard size for peanut butter bars. If you use a smaller pan, the bars will be thicker and may not cook evenly.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set: Overbaking the bars will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape. Once the bars are completely cool, you can cut them into squares or bars.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature: Peanut butter bars will keep for up to 3 days at room temperature, or up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
