Directions
Preheat oven to 325℉ (160℃). Grease a 9x13 inch pan and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, butter, brown sugar and sugar until well blended and smooth.
Make sure any sumps of brown sugar are dissolved.
Then add the eggs and vanilla.
Mix until smooth and creamy and thoroughly blended.
Add the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix thoroughly until the batter is once again smooth and creamy.
Spoon the batter unti the prepared pan.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the batter and put into the oven for 5 minutes.
Remove from the oven and, using a butter knife, swirl the chocolate chips through the dough.
Bake for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven.
The bars are done when a butter knife inserted into the center comes out clean (some chocolate may stick to the knife).
Let cool for an hour and cut into bars.
