Preheat oven to 350 degrees, butter and line with parchment a 9X13 baking pan.

Bars

16 TBs unsalted butter

1.5 C peanut butter

1.5 C granulated sugar

.5 c brown sugar, packed

1.5 tsp kosher salt

1 T vanilla

4 eggs at room temperature

2 C flour, sifted

Melt together butter and peanut butter. Set aside to cool to room temperature. In large bowl, sift together sugars and salt. Whisk in one egg at a time until combined. Add-in vanilla. Whisk in peanut butter mixture until combined. Sift in flour and mix until flour just disappears. Pour into prepared pan and bake until tester comes out with moist crumbs (about 35 minutes).

Icing

1 C confectioner’s sugar

.25 cup peanut butter, melted

Milk (amount depends on desired thickness of icing–start with a couple of tablespoons and go from there).

Once bars have cooled, flip out onto a cooling rack fitted into a cookie sheet (to catch the icing). Mix icing ingredients togther until of desired consistency. Drizzle over bars. Let icing set up and cut.
