I have an old binder with lined paper that I have some heirloom recipes in. I also have a shelf of old cook books. I must admit that I now just Google a recipe I am looking for rather than go through my books. I do collect those old recipe books put out by church groups to raise money for projects. They are usually full of tried and true family favourites. I have one I think I will try this week. It is called Chocolate Peanut Buddy Bars. I think if I leave out the choc. Chips from the bottom part and instead use them all on top, they will be like Reese’s Peanut butter cup squares?
1 cup peanut butter
6 tbs. Butter, softened
1-1/4 c. Sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 c. Flour
1/4 tsp. Salt
One 12 oz. Pkg. choc. Chips, divided……..I am going to try them all on top instead
Preheat oven to 350*. In lg. mixing bowl, beat peanut butter and butter until smooth. Add sugar, eggs, vanilla, beat until creamy. Blend in flour and salt. Stir in 1/2 choc. Chips ( this I am not doing) Spread in increased 13by 9 pan. Bake at 350* for 25-30 minutes. Immediately sprinkle the choc. Chips on top and let stand 5 minutes. When the chips are shiny and soft, spread evenly over the top. Cool and cut into bars. Makes 48 bars.
I think the count of 48 is a bit too high unless you cut them into squares rather then bars.
