Ingredients

  • 115 g butter lightly-salted
  • 80 g smooth peanut butter
  • 1 egg
  • 150 g light brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 130 g flour
  • 150 g chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180° C.
  • In a large, glass bowl, melt the butter in the microwave until melted.
  • Set aside to cool for a couple of minutes.
  • Add the peanut butter, vanilla, brown sugar and egg, and mix well using either a whisk or a spatula.
  • Fold in the flour with a wooden spoon or spatula, and mix just until you can't see the flour anymore.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Spoon the batter into a baking tray with high edges that you've oiled or buttered beforehean. Smooth out the batter so that it's approximately the same thickness everywhere.
  • Bake for aproximately 20 minutes, but be sure not to overbake them because then they can get quite dry.
  • Cut into bars or squares and remove them from the pan once they've cooled down a bit.

Notes

These bars can be kept in a sealed Tupperware for about 5 days.
Alternatively, you can freeze any leftovers that you might have (though my bet is that you won't have any leftovers!)
