How To Make fresh strawberry bars

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl beat butter and peanut butter on medium to high for 30 seconds. Beat in sugars, baking powder, and salt until combined. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until combined. Beat in as much flour as you can with mixer. Stir in remaining flour.

Step 2

Spread dough in a foil-lined 13x9x2-inch baking pan, extending foil beyond edges. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for about 25 minutes or until top is lightly browned and toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
Step 3

Cool completely on rack. Remove from pan by lifting foil. Spread jam over crust and top with berries. Cut into bars. Serve at once or chill up to 6 hours.
