Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
• 1 cup butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 2 1/2 cups peanut butter (divided)
• 2 cups oatmeal (not quick)
• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup margarine or butter, softened
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1-2 teaspoons vanilla (depending on your taste)
• 3 tablespoons cocoa
• 2-3 cups of powdered sugar

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl, cream the sugar, brown sugar, and butter together. Add the vanilla, eggs, and 1 cup peanut butter and stir to combine.
• Add the remaining ingredients and mix together.
• Spread dough on a greased jelly roll pan (18x13x1). Bake for 15 minutes (until golden brown).
• While hot spread the other 1 1/2 cups peanut butter on top - it helps to drop spoonfuls all over the top of the bars, then spread after the peanut butter has started to melt.
• Let cool until 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!).
• While cooling, mix together frosting ingredients with a hand mixer and then spread on top of bars.
