Peanut Butter Bar's


Here is the Recipe:

1 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
1 c. peanut butter
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp vanilla
2 c. flour
2 c. oats

Mix all of this in a big bowl. Butter should be soft when you mix together. I usually pull out the butter about an half hour to an hour before I make anything just so that it can have some time to soften. I also always use real butter. There are two kind of real butter and that is salted and unsalted. I always get the unsalted just because I don't want more salt in a recipe then what it calls for.

The first picture that you see is with it all cooked. That is what it should look like. You will need to cook it on 350 for about 10 min. You will need a 13x9 pan. That is a big cookie sheet. Once it is all mixed together you will put the dough on the cookie sheet and use your fingers to press it all down so that it fits to the pan. Put it in the oven after it is all pressed and ready on the pan. Check it at 10 min to make sure that it is browning. If it is not brown then you will need to put it in the oven for 2 more min. Do not keep it in the oven for longer then 12 min. It will over cook it.

After you pull it out start making the frosting.

4 1/2 tbls butter
3 tbls cocoa
3 tbls milk
2 1/4 c. powder sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Put this on the bars. It will still be hot and that is ok. Let it cool with the frosting on top of it. It should look like this:
They will be gooey if you cut into them warm, but still good. I hope you enjoy them as much as my family does.
