Edit Post
2/3 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar1 cup packed brown sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 package (11 1/2 oz) milk chocolate chips
1. In a large bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate chips.
2. Spread into a greased 13 x 9 inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack. Cut into bars.
Tips/Tricks/Notes
This recipe has a great peanut buttery taste and is nice and light for a cake! I will note, it is very crumbly, so watch for the mess! Also, it ended up double the thickness of the original recipe pictures. It's a perfect example of why I take my own pictures! The next time I do this recipe I may also turn down my oven slightly, but I have come to realize my oven seems to get hotter then most others. I have had to lower the temperature for almost every recipe I have done! The only other thing, I used semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate because that is what I had on hand!
Recommendation: Try crunchy peanut butter versus smooth!
The picture seen above is an actual picture I took of my completed cake, it is not taken from the internet or played with in anyway.

Why Roro? Many years ago, I was given the nickname 'Roro' by a good friend and it has stuck ever since!
Why a Recipe Blog? Recently I discovered a love for baking & cooking when Kevin and I bought our first house together in 2008. I started to get a lot of requests for the recipes I was trying and I thought a blog would be the best way to share them with everyone!

These look scrumptious! I am always looking for new recipes that involve chocolate and peanut butter - and I love the idea of having them as bars, instead of cake!
