Ingredients
- For the Bars:
- ½ cup Butter

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and ¾ cup peanut butter together. Stir until smooth and combined. Remove from heat and set aside.

- Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the bowl. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the melted peanut butter and butter mixture into the bowl. Mix until all ingredients are fully combined.

- Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges are set and lightly golden.
- While bars are baking, prepare the icing: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt ¼ cup peanut butter.
- Add almond milk and vanilla extract to the melted peanut butter. Stir until smooth.
- Remove from heat and add powdered sweetener. Stir until smooth and slightly thin consistency.
- Remove bars from oven and let cool until warm to the touch but not hot.
- Pour the icing over the warm bars and spread evenly.
- Let the icing set for several minutes before slicing into 12 bars.
