Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup brown sugar tightly packed
  • ½ cup butter unsalted and slightly softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups flour
  • 14 ounces condensed milk sweetened
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 bag bag Toll House Dark Chocolate Morsels
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup Toll House Dark Chocolate Morsels

Instructions
 

Heat Treat Flour

    Oven Method

    • Set your oven to 350°F.
    • Bake the flour in 2-minute intervals, removing it from the oven to check the temperature. Be sure to stir the flour with a spoon or spatula every time you take it out. This helps it heat evenly and prevents it from scorching or toasting. This should take about 5 to 10 minutes.
    •  Use an instant-read food thermometer to ensure the flour reaches 165°F. To check the temperature accurately, gather the flour into a small pile in the middle of the baking sheet and insert the thermometer.
    •  If any lumps formed during baking, sift the flour through a fine-mesh strainer. If you don’t have a sifter, whisking it vigorously works well, too.
    • Let the flour cool completely before using it in your recipe.

    Microwave Method

    • Put the flour in a microwave-safe bowl.
    • Heat the flour in 30-second bursts.
    • Stir the flour well after each burst to avoid hot spots.
    • Continue until a food thermometer shows the flour reaches 165°F.
    • Cool the flour completely before mixing.

    Making the Bars:

    • In a large bowl or using your KitchenAid mixer bowl, add brown sugar and butter. Mix on medium until it’s a fluffy consistency.
    • Add vanilla and peanut butter and mix until combined.
    • Next, add flour and condensed milk and mix on medium until well combined.
    • Using a wooden spoon, mix in chocolate chips (1 bag)
    • Place cookie dough mixture into an 8×8 pan and press into the pan. Using a spatula to pack and press down the corners.

    Topping

    • Combine peanut butter and 1 cup chocolate chips in an electric candy melting pot or you can also melt using a safe microwave bowl. Stir continuously to keep from burning. If you melt in the microwave you’ll want to stir every 20 – 30 seconds to keep chocoalte from burning.
    • Once mixture is melted, pour over cookie dough mixture.
    • You can place in the fridge until chocolate is hard and cookie dough is cooled. Typically about 2 hours, you can also place in the freezer to help speed up the process.
