Peanut Butter Cup Magic Cookie Bars

 Peanut Butter Cookie Base:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup white sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 large egg

1 large egg yolk

1 cup flour

pinch of salt

Topping:

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

3/4 cup peanut butter chips

1 cup chopped peanut butter cups

1/2 cup chopped salted peanuts

3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk

Preheat over to 350 F. Line a 9x13 baking dish with foil, and grease the foil.

Place the butter and peanut butter in a large bowl and microwave until melted. Whisk in sugars. Add egg and egg yolk, whisking until combined. Add flour and a pinch of salt and stir with a spoon or rubber spatula until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 10 minutes.

Remove the pan oven (the batter will be barely set but not cooked through). Immediately top with most of the chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, peanut butter cups, and peanuts (reserving a couple of tablespoons of each). Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top. Sprinkle over the reserved chips, peanut butter cups, and peanuts. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool completely before cutting.

I found this recipe here. I love peanut butter and chocolate as you can see with all the peanut butter recipes. I thought maybe it was going to be too sweet but the peanut butter and salted peanuts really help balance it out. It is very peanut buttery though. If you are not as into peanut butter I would recommend my regular magic bar recipe.
