Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar
- 1 cup butter
- 1/3 cup crunchy peanut butter
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Topping
- 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
- In small bowl, stir together topping ingredients. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In large bowl, stir together flour and sugar. Using a hand mixer, mix in the softened butter, egg yolk, and vanilla. Press mixture into bottom of a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake 25 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven and cool about 5 minutes.
- Drop topping by teaspoonfuls at even intervals over the warm crust. Return to oven for about 2 minutes to melt the chocolate.
