White Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line an 18x18cm baking dish with parchment paper.

   Tip: To ensure easy removal, make sure the paper is pressed firmly onto the dish.

2. 2

   In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the white chocolate and peanut butter, stirring occasionally.

   Tip: This will help prevent the chocolate from seizing up.

3. 3

   Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the butter until fully incorporated.

   Tip: Make sure to stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugars, eggs, and flour.

   Tip: This will help to incorporate air and create a lighter texture.

5. 5

   Add the dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture and stir until just combined.

   Tip: Don't overmix, as this can lead to a dense bar.

6. 6

   Stir in the peanut butter chips and salt.

   Tip: This will give the bars a nice texture and flavor contrast.

7. 7

   Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.

   Tip: Use a spatula or offset spatula to spread the mixture evenly.

8. 8

   Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

   Tip: A slightly golden edge is a good indication that the bars are set.

9. 9

   Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the dish.

   Tip: This will help the bars to set properly and make them easier to cut.

10. 10

    Once cooled, use a sharp knife to cut the bars into 8 equal pieces.

    Tip: Cut carefully to avoid applying too much pressure, which can cause the bars to break.
