Here’s my feeling about peanut butter desserts—-they don’t taste enough like peanut butter! By the time you cut the, what, 1/2 cup or 1 (woo-hoo!) cup with flour and eggs and *especially* sugar, the taste of the peanut butter doesn’t come through near enough! So I set about experimenting and trying to come up with a peanut butter square recipe that would still be bar-cookie-like (not fudge) but pack the wallop of PB flavor I was looking for. And after all that trial and error, you know what the key was?
Swirling in some pure, unadulterated Peanut Butter at the end. This gives you a pure hit of peanut butter every now and again and this helps to amplify the PB flavor in the rest of the bar. Not too bad, eh? *smile*
