Description

Peanut butter fudgy bars meet a smooth chocolate ganache, need I say more?

Ingredients

  • FOR THE BARS:
  • ½ cups Smooth Peanut Butter
  • ½ cups Crunchy Peanut Butter
  • 1 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • ½ cups Granualted Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Real Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • _____
  • FOR THE GANACHE:
  • 4 ounces, weight Semi-sweet Chocolate
  • ½ cups Heavy Cream

Preparation

For the bars:
Preheat oven to 350ºF, then grease and line an 8×8 square baking pan. Mix together peanut butters, sugars, vanilla and butter until light and creamy. Add the rest of the ingredients in batches, and mix well until totally combined. Spread the peanut butter batter evenly into the pan. Place in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes.

Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

For the ganache:
Roughly chop the chocolate into small pieces and place into a medium bowl. Bring heavy cream to a simmer and immediately remove from the heat and pour on top of the chopped chocolate. Let this sit to soften the chocolate. Whisk the hot cream and chocolate slowly until the chocolate is completely incorporated into the cream.

Let the ganache sit for 5 minutes until slightly thicker in consistency but still pourable. Pour into the center of the cooled peanut butter bars. Tilt the pan to spread the ganache and then chill in the fridge until the ganache is set. Remove from the pan, cut and serve.
