Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 cups creamy Smuckers Natural peanut butter
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 1/2 cups raspberry (or other) jam (I use a seedless blackberry jam and it works great)
  • 2/3 cup coarsely chopped salted peanuts

Directions

1

In a Kitchenaid mixer fitted with a paddle, cream the butter and sugar until light yellow, about 2 minutes.

2

Reduce the speed on the mixer to low and add the vanilla, eggs and peanut butter, blending until all ingredients are combined.

3

Add the flour, baking powder and salt and mixed until just blended. The dough will be crumbly - this is normal!

4

Grease and flour a 13 x 9" pan. Take about 2/3 of the dough and pat it into the pan, making sure to spread the dough evenly to all sides of the pan. If you think the crust may be too thin, take small globs of dough and keep adding to what you've already patted out.

5

Spread the jam evenly over the top of the dough using a small spatula. As a note, 1 1/2 cups of jam should be about 18 ounces worth.

6

Drop small globs of the remaining dough evenly over the top of the jam. Do not worry if jam is showing through the dough; the dough globs spread just a little when they're baking. Top with the chopped peanuts.

7

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool in the pan completely, then cut into squares.
