Notes

  • You can use either crunchy or smooth peanut butter but do not use natural peanut butter, the end result won’t be the right texture.
  • Choose any kind of chocolate chip you want, dark chocolate, semisweet, milk chocolate: it’s up to you, they will all turn out delicious!
  • For thicker bars use a 9 by 9-inch pan and extend the baking time by about five minutes.
