This recipe forms a rather stiff dough, you might have to press it in the pan. One time I put raisins in the batter by mistake, and my husband loved them that way. You can also omit the chocolate chips and have them plain if you wish.

Tips:
- Use high-quality peanut butter. The better the peanut butter, the better the bars will be. Look for a peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts and has no added sugar or salt.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bars until they are just set in the center. Overbaking can make the bars dry and crumbly. A toothpick inserted into the center of the bars should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bars for up to 2 months.

Peanut butter squares are a classic dessert that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. These bars are made with a simple combination of peanut butter, butter, sugar, eggs, and flour.
