Peanut Butter Bars

 I like to bake - and my nephews like peanut butter.  My niece says she does not, but her affinity for buckeyes tells me differently, but that is a different story.  These peanut butter bars are easy, tasty and do well in school lunch (if they last that long).  I prefer to bake with Jif, and I do believe it makes a difference, so that is what is listed below.

1 3/4 Cup All Purpose Flour

1 Tsp Baking Powder

1/4 Tsp Salt

1 Cup Chunky Jif

3/4 Cup Butter, Softened

1 Cup Light Brown Sugar, Packed

2 Large Eggs

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a 9 inch square pan with parchment paper and coat with cooking spray.  Set aside.

Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl, set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, butter and brown sugar. Beat on medium until smooth.  Add eggs, one at a time, and mix well.  Beat in flour mixture until just combined and press into pan.  Bake about 25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.  Cool and enjoy.
