Peanut Butter Blossom Bars are a delightful twist on the classic Peanut Butter Blossom cookies. Here’s a recipe for making these delicious bars:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- About 30-35 Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and peanut butter. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture, and mix until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula or your hands to press it down firmly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the bars are still warm, gently press the unwrapped Hershey’s Kisses into the top of the bars, spacing them evenly apart.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan and transfer them to a cutting board.
- Cut the bars into squares or rectangles, making sure each piece has a Hershey’s Kiss in the center.
- Serve and enjoy these delicious Peanut Butter Blossom Bars! They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
These bars are perfect for any occasion and are sure to be a hit with peanut butter and chocolate lovers alike!
