Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter , ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons
  • ¾ cup lightly packed brown sugar , light or dark
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 large egg ,room temperature
  • ¼ teaspoon salt , to taste
  • cup peanut butter
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup mini Rolo candies , or 1 cup roughly chopped large Rolo candies
  • caramel sauce for serving
  • vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Line an 8x8 inch pan with aluminium foil leaving an overhang on each side and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray, or line with parchment paper leaving an overhang on each side. If using parchment paper you won't need to spray the pan. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-low heat, or melt in the microwave in a large microwave safe bowl. Allow the butter to cool for a few minutes.
  • Using a large rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir in the sugar and vanilla. Ensuring that the mixture isn't too hot, stir in the egg and salt. Be careful that the butter isn't still hot - or you can scramble the egg. Then stir in the peanut butter until evenly combined. Then finally stir in the flour, followed by the mini Rolo candies.
  • Pour/spoon the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 18-22 minutes. The top should be just set when you remove it from the oven. For easier cutting, allow the bars to cool completely before removing from the pan and eating. If you'd like to eat the bars while still very warm and gooey - allow them to cool for about 10-15 minutes before cutting into them.
  • Serve plain or with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream.
