Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with foil and spray with cooking spray for easy removal.
• Stir together melted butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Add eggs one at a time, mixing completely. Mix in vanilla extract, salt, and baking soda. Gradually mix in flour. Stir in chocolate chips.
• Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a small bowl and add the peanut butter. Stir until smooth.
• Press half the cookie dough in the prepared pan (spray hands with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking). Top the dough with peanut butter cups evenly.
• Pour the peanut butter condensed milk mixture over the cookie dough layer, leaving about a 1/4 inch edge around the pan. Break up and place the remaining cookie dough on top, pressing gently to flatten.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the tops of the bars start to turn golden brown. Cool completely before slicing into bars.
• Store bars in an airtight container up to 3 days or freeze up to one month. Best served at room temperature.
