Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need
- Mixing bowls
- Electric mixer or whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- 9×9 baking pan
- Parchment paper
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp corn starch
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 cup Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped into small pieces
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 7 oz jar marshmallow fluff
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9 baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and peanut butter until smooth. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, and mix well. Then, incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract.
- Add the baking soda, salt, cinnamon, corn starch, and flour, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the Reese’s pieces and chocolate chips.
- Press half of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Set the remaining dough aside.
- Spread the marshmallow fluff over the dough in the pan. Layer the rest of the dough on top, pressing lightly (it’s okay if some marshmallow fluff is visible).
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown. Allow the bars to cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting.
- Store any remaining bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days (as long as it’s not too hot).
Tips for Success
Ensure that your butter and peanut butter are at room temperature for easy mixing. When spreading the marshmallow fluff, use a lightly greased spatula to prevent sticking. Don’t worry if the dough doesn’t completely cover the fluff; it will spread as it bakes.
Additional Tips and Variations
Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as dark or white chocolate, for a unique twist. You can also add nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top for an extra crunch.
