Grandma Jackie loved the combination of chocolate and peanut butter so I wasn’t shocked to find this recipe for Chewy Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars in her recipe box. However, I don’t remember these at all! I figured they looked easy enough and with all the flavors involved, it was bound to be good. And indeed, it exceeded expectations. This recipe is a breeze to whip up, and the resulting bars are a symphony of textures that perfectly complement the timeless combination of chocolate and peanut butter.
Like many vintage recipes, I encountered a slight hiccup in sourcing all the exact ingredients. Despite my efforts, I couldn’t locate an 18 oz. package of refrigerated sugar cookie dough; everything I found was 16.5 oz. Nevertheless, I forged ahead with what I had, and the bars turned out just fine. Thankfully, the rest of the ingredients were readily available, likely already residing in your pantry.
These bars are a testament to simplicity and classic flavors, requiring no alterations to perfection. Follow the recipe as is, and you’re guaranteed to be delighted. Give them a try, and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments. Don’t forget to snap a picture and tag me on Instagram (@bdhbakes)—I’d love to see your creations!
