Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: This will result in a richer, more flavorful bar. Look for chocolate chips that contain at least 50% cacao, and use creamy, all-natural peanut butter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixed batter will result in tough, dry bars. Mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the bars to hold their shape better and will prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set: The bars should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

These peanut butter chocolate chunk bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them chewy or soft, with extra chocolate chips or a sprinkle of sea salt, these bars are sure to be a hit.
