We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • 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.
