Peanut Butter Bars

Peanut Butter Bars

I love pretty much any combination of peanut butter and chocolate.  I had something similar to this at a MOPS meeting and had to come home and search for the recipe.  It's delicious!

Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
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

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350*F.  Cream first 3 ingredients together.  Add the vanilla, eggs, and 1 cup peanut butter and combine.  Add the remaining ingredients and mix together.  Spread dough on a greased jelly roll pan (18x13x1").  Bake at 350*F for 15 minutes, until golden brown.  While hot, spread the other 1 1/2 cups peanut butter on top.  Drop all over top by little spoonfuls, it will soften and make it easier to spread.  Then let cool so that the peanut butter has become solid again (you can set them in the fridge so that it sets up faster).  Spread your favorite chocolate frosting on top and cut into bars. 
 
Chocolate Frosting:
1 stick (1/2 cup) margarine, softened
1/4 cup milk
1-2 teaspoons vanilla
3 tablespoons cocoa
2-3 cups of powdered sugar

Mix all ingredients until smooth and spread on top of bars.
