Notes

  • Choose a traditional peanut butter, like Jif or Skippy, not a natural version.
  • Don’t spread the peanut butter, you’ll thank me later when you take a bite with a creamy swirl of peanut butter.
  • Cool completely before cutting into bars. Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • If using unsalted butter, add 1 teaspoon kosher salt to the batter with the flour.
