Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars


Cream together:

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg

Add: 
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup flour
1 cup oatmeal

Spread in pan & bake 350 degrees for 8 - 10 minutes. Sprinkle with chocolate chips, Put back in oven for about 1 minute to melt chocolate chips. Spread chocolate evenly over top. Freeze to set chocolate.

Frosting: 
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
about 4 cups powdered sugar
Enough hot water to make creamy frosting

Frost over frozen chocolate. That is it. The thickness of the cookie dough makes the treat chewy or crunchy. 

*We prefer these chewy so we make them a bit thicker in a 9x13 pan!
