What do I line 8×8 pan with? How do I make these that they come out nicely and not stuck to pan? Also it says under crust about doubling ingredients? Is that all ingredients or only certain ones?

DANIELLE says
only the crust needs to be doubled
Kalynn Little says
Will it all fit in the 8×8 pan though its doubles?
DANIELLE says
YES BC ONLY DOUBLING CRUST
Kalynn Little says
This doesn’t look right. What can I do to make it smooth like it said I already put vanilla and sugar in …
Looks sorta like small balls
DANIELLE says
HMMM, DID U FOLLOW THE RECIPE EXACTLY?
Kalynn Little says
I sent you a picture of it but yes. Since on my phone the recipe is separated a lot but I used electric mixer for the part for mixing the sugar PB and vanilla. I mixed by hand soften butter and PB.
Kalynn Little says
is there anything i can do to make it the way it is suppose to without starting over again?
DANIELLE says
was your butter soft? if you are sure u used the right measurements, I would continue to beat it with the mixer until smooth.
Kalynn Little says
yes butter was soft a little was melted on accident though : / positive i used the right measurements. and i will continue to beat it until its smooth… but what if i cont and it does not get smooth is there anything i can do to fix? (hate wasting stuff)
DANIELLE says
try more peanut butter but if measurements r right then it should get smooth. i have made this many times. good luck!
Kalynn Little says
okay thank you. i also sent a picture of it to your email… thought it would help but thank you hope it turns out right thanks again sorry to be a pest i dont really bake… first time by myself :/
