Ingredients

• ½ cup butter, softened
• ½ cup peanut butter
• ½ cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup milk
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 pinch salt
• ¼ cup shortening
• ⅔ cup peanut butter
• ⅔ cup confectioners' sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup milk chocolate chips
• ¾ cup frozen whipped topping, thawed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, blend together the butter, 1/2 cup peanut butter, white sugar, brown sugar, egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla until smooth. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the sugar mixture. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.

Step 3

Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until firm. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let stand for a minute, then spread the chips to form a layer.

Step 4

To make the topping, blend together the 2/3 cup peanut butter, confectioners' sugar and shortening. Gradually stir in the milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Gently mix in the whipped topping. Chill. When brownies and topping are both cooled, spread topping onto brownies and cut into bars.
