Fluffernutter Bars

Fluffernutter Bars 3 cups all purpose flour 1 TBS baking powder 1/4 tsp baking soda 2 sticks salted butter, slightly softened 1 cup smooth peanut butter 1 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar 1 cup granulated sugar 2 tsp vanilla 4 large eggs 1 cup peanut butter chips 1 cup Reese's Pieces Candies 13 oz (the large jar) Marshmallow Creme Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan or spray with cooking spray. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside. In the bowl of your mixer, beat butter, peanut butter, and both sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Stop the mixer to scrape the sides of the bowl before adding the eggs one at a time, beating after each. Scrape the sides of the bowl again. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add flour mixture until incorporated. Using a wooden spoon, make sure all the flour mixture from the bottom of the bowl is mixed in (batter will be thick). Fold in chips and Reese's Pieces candies. Spread approximately 2/3 of batter in prepared pan. With the lid (and packaging seal) removed, microwave the Marshmallow Creme, stirring every 20 seconds, until it's softened and easy to spread. Spoon evenly over batter in pan and spread gently. Spoon remaining batter over marshmallow, as evenly as possible. Spread a bit, then using a sharp knife, drag through the batter, creating a "swirl". Bake for about 30 minutes, until edges are brown and bars are dark golden all over (some of the marshmallow may puff up and get darker brown than the rest of the batter -- this is okay). Let bars cool completely. Refrigerate until firm for ease in cutting (this also keeps the marshmallow from oozing out). Enjoy!!
