How to Make Peanut Butter Fingers

Peanut butter fingers are an easy-to-make treat for peanut butter and chocolate lovers. These bar cookies can be made in under an hour.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1/2 C butter
• 1/2 C white sugar
• 1/2 C brown sugar
• one egg
• peanut butter
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 1/4 C flour
• 1/2 package chocolate chips
• For icing use:
• 1 1/2 C confectioner's sugar
• 1/4 C peanut butter
• Small amount of milk

1. Mix the butter and sugars. Let the butter soften before adding for easy mixing.

2. Add the rest of the ingredients one at a time, mixing after you add each ingredient. Spoon the mixture into an ungreased 9 x 13 pan and smooth out using a spatula or butter knife.

3. Bake in a pre-heated 350 oven for 15 to 20 minutes. When done, the top should be slightly brown.

4. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle 1/2 package of chocolate chips over the peanut butter fingers. Dark or milk chocolate chips can be used depending on your preference.

5. Mix together 1/4 C peanut butter, the confectioner's sugar and enough milk to make a smooth icing. Add a small amount of milk at a time until you reach the right consistency. Spread the icing over the chocolate chips, swirling with a butter knife to mix in the chocolate chips.

6. Let the peanut butter fingers cool, cut and serve. Store in an airtight container.
