This could be a top of the list as a go to quickie. I've already made it twice to raves both times around. The recipe is from the Nestle Toll House "Best Loved Cookies" Cookbook. Favorite flavors abound in this easy to throw together treat.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. creamy or chunky peanut butter
1/2 c. butter or margarine, softened
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 egg
2 c. (12 oz. package) semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine flour and baking powder in small bowl. Beat granulated sugar, peanut butter, butter and vanilla in large mixer bowl until creamy. Beat in egg. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in 1 1/4 c. morsels.
Press into ungreased 13 X 9-inch baking pan. Sprinkle with remaining morsels; press down slightly.
Makes 3 dozen bars.
My notes: Chilling for a few minutes before cutting is inspired. It does make it easier to cut. Believe it or not, this confirmed chocoholic didn't think it was necessary to use the extra chocolate chips on top. I ate a few of them straight and saved them for another day.
