Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup 113 g unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup 200 g peanut butter(creamy or crunchy, use a no-stir brand)
  • 1 cup 200 g packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg

  • 1 cupchocolate chips

Instructions

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13" pan with foil and spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray (leave some foil overhang to lift the bars out later).
  • In a large bowl using a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the softened unsalted butter and the peanut butter together until smooth.
  • Add the packed brown sugar and beat until the mixture is creamy and combined.
  • Add the egg, vanilla extract, milk, salt, and baking soda; mix until everything is incorporated.
  • Gradually add the all-purpose flour and mix on low speed (or stir) until just combined and no large streaks of flour remain.
  • Fold in the peanut butter chips, chocolate chips, and chopped Butterfinger pieces until evenly distributed through the dough.
  • Transfer the dough to the prepared 9×13" pan and press it into an even layer using a spatula or your hands. If you like, sprinkle additional peanut butter chips and Butterfinger pieces over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set (a toothpick inserted near the center should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter).
  • Remove the pan from the oven and cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Use the foil overhang to lift the bars from the pan, then slice into bars.
  • Store cooled bars in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to one month.
