Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars

Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars Adapted from DomesticFits.com

For the Crust:
1 ½ cups flour
½ tsp baking powder
¾ cup golden brown sugar
¾ cup smooth peanut butter
½ cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla

Jam for filling

Combine the flour and baking powder in a small bowl or jug, set aside.

Add the peanut butter, butter and sugar in a bowl, mix until well combined. 
Add the egg and vanilla, mix well until combined.
Sprinkle with flour mixture, stir to combine.

Split the dough roughly in two, leaving more for the bottom crust.
Put one half in the freezer to chill whilst pressing the other half into a baking dish lined with parchment paper.

Cover the dough with the jam (I put the jam in the microwave to soften slightly for easier spreading)

Retrieve the remaining crust from the freezer, break into pea-sized pieces and layer over the jam filling. 

Bake in the oven at 350 degrees (gasmark 4) for 30 minutes, until the top crust starts to turn golden brown.  


Allow to cool before serving.
