"This recipe comes from AMISH COOKING by Pathway Publishers 7th edition 1986. The recipe originally makes two large jelly roll sized pans, but I have cut the recipe in half for my own convenience. A very good basic recipe that is awesome frosted with fudge frosting or add a cup of bittersweet chocolate chips instead if you like."

Original is 16 servings

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Cream together by hand or electric mixer; shortening/butter, peanut butter and sugars in this order until fluffy.

Step 2

Add eggs and vanilla and blend well.

Step 3

Sift flour, baking powder and salt before stirring into the wet ingredients by hand.

Step 4

If adding peanuts and chocolate chips, work in chopped peanuts and chocolate chips by hand, not mixer. Dough will be kind of stiff.

Step 5

Press into an ungreased large jelly roll type pan with low sides. Mine are 10 inches by 14 inches.

Step 6

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 25 minutes, over baking will cause these to be quite dry so watch the time.

Step 7

Cut bars while warm. When cool they can be frosted with frosting of choice.
