Peanut Butter Bars

We've made some changes as the original is a little too crumbly, plus we had to have chocolate.

Ingredients

• 1/2C butter
• 1C peanut butter (it works better with creamy)
• 1/2C sugar
• 1/2C brown sugar
• 1T milk
• 1t vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 1C flour
• 1/2t baking soda
• 1/4t baking powder
• 1/4t salt
• 1/4t cinnamon (optional)
• 1C chocolate chips (separated)
• 1/4C butterscotch chips (caramel chips work well too)
• 1 can condensed milk (you don't use the full can)

Directions

• in a medium size bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder cinnamon
• in a large size bowl, cream together the butter and peanut butter
• add the sugar and beat until combined
• add eggs, vanilla and milk and beat for 30-60s
• add flour mixture and 3/4C of the chocolate chips to peanut butter mixture and mix until combined
• lightly press the dough into a baking dish
• scatter remaining 1/4C chocolate chips and 1/4C butterscotch chips on top of the mixture and press them in so they are roughly 1/2 buried
• drizzle 1/4C to 1/2C of the condensed milk over the top of the mixture/chips (try to get a light but full coating over the top)
• bake at 350F for 22-25 minutes - the top should get light and fluffy and the condensed milk should crystallize and turn light brown
• Let the bars cool in a wire rack
