Peanut Butter Bars
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/2 cup peanut butter (divided)
- 2 cup old fashioned oats
- 2 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
DIRECTIONS
1) Cream first three ingredients together.
2) Add vanilla, eggs, and 1 cup peanut butter and combine.
3) Add remaining ingredients (except peanut butter) and mix together.
4) Spread dough on greased cookie sheet (18x13x1").
5) Bake at 350 degrees for 15 mins or until golden brown.
6) While hot, spread remaining peanut butter on top of bars. Drop all over in spoonfuls. It will melt and make it easier to spread.
7) Let cool so that peanut butter hardens. It's best to put in refrigerator to cool faster.
8) Spread favorite chocolate frosting on top and cut into bars.
Here's my favorite frosting recipe for these bars:
