Ingredients
  

  • 2 sticks butter
  • 1 & ¼ cups brown sugar firmly packed
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour spoon and level for best results
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Reese's Pieces
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350℉.
  • Melt butter in a large microwaveable mixing bowl; allow to cool slightly.
  • Add the brown sugar; mix well.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix.
  • In a separate medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Add this mixture to the large bowl; stir until just combined.
  • Stir in Reese's Pieces and chocolate chips until just combined.
  • Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20-22 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

When combining the dry and wet ingredients, stir until JUST COMBINED (it's okay if the batter is a little lumpy). If you over stir, it will become too cake-like.
I generally bake these for 20-22 minutes. Keep in mind that the longer the bars bake, the more cake-like they will be. The less they bake, the more they will resemble a blondie (but of course, bake them long enough so that they're not too ooey gooey and are safe to eat). As a general rule of thumb, you want the tops and edges to be golden brown and buttery crisp, with a soft and chewy, dense interior.
You may choose to gently push additional Reese's pieces and chocolate chips into the top of the batter before baking for added aesthetic appeal.
