Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
• 1 cup butter
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 2 cups oatmeal (not quick)
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt

Directions

1. Cream first 3 ingredients together. Add the vanilla, eggs, and peanut butter and combine. Add the remaining ingredients and mix together. Spread dough on a greased jelly roll pan (18×13×1″). Make at 350 degrees for 15 minutes (until golden brown). While hot spread 1 1/2 cups peanut butter on top. Cool so that the peanut butter has become solid again (I usually throw them in the fridge so they set up faster and so I can eat them sooner!). Spread your favorite chocolate frosting on top and cut into bars.

2. Here is my favorite frosting recipe for these bars:

3. 1 stick (1/2 cup) margarine, softened

4. 1/4 cup milk

5. 1-2 tsp vanilla (depending on your taste)

6. 3 Tablespoons cocoa (I have never really exactly measured)

7. 2-3 cups of powdered sugar

8. Mix all ingredients with a hand mixer until smooth and spread on top of bars.
