Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9x13 baking pan with a piece of parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until fluffy. Add 5 tablespoons of peanut butter and the vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.
Add flour and cornstarch. Combine into a dough using a spoon or your hands.
Press the peanut butter shortbread into the prepared baking pan and transfer into the oven to bake until lightly browned, approximately 18-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes.
In the meantime, melt the chocolate in the microwave or a double boiler and stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons of peanut butter.
Spread the chocolate mixture over the shortbread and top with peanuts and flakey salt.
Allow to cool completely until the chocolate sets before slicing and serving.
Enjoy!
