Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 375F (190C), ensuring consistent temperature throughout the baking chamber.
- Pan Setup: Grease a jelly roll pan and line with parchment paper for effortless removal and clean presentation.
- Base Mixing: Whip peanut butter and softened butter into a smooth, integrated mixture with luxurious creamy consistency.
- Dough Formation: Fold powdered sugar into the butter blend, kneading methodically to create a uniform, moldable dough that holds its shape perfectly.

- Baking Process: Slide the pan into preheated oven, baking until edges transform to a delicate golden brown, signaling optimal doneness.
- Cooling Technique: Remove from oven and allow complete cooling on a wire rack, letting residual heat finalize the setting process.
- Chocolate Coating: Melt chocolate using double boiler or microwave, stirring to maintain a glossy, smooth consistency.
- Finishing Touch: Drizzle melted chocolate over cooled base, creating an elegant, decadent final layer.
- Serving Preparation: Refrigerate briefly to set chocolate, then slice into classic rectangular or triangular pieces ready for delightful sharing.
Notes
- Butter Temperature Check: Ensure butter and peanut butter are softened to room temperature for smooth, seamless blending without lumps.
- Powdered Sugar Sifting: Sift powdered sugar before mixing to eliminate clumps and create a silky, uniform texture in the dough.
- Precise Pan Spreading: Use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to spread dough evenly, maintaining consistent thickness for uniform baking.
- Chocolate Melting Technique: Melt chocolate slowly and gently to prevent burning, stirring frequently and removing from heat just before completely melted for a glossy finish.
