Is there anything more heavenly than peanut butter and chocolate? I never get to make these because two of my children have peanut allergies, but we had friends coming over for dinner and her addiction is peanut butter bars. So, tonight, I made two desserts. One for my peanut-free children, and this, for the rest of us. These are SO yummy, you can’t stop eating until the pan is empty. Literally.
Peanut Butter Bars
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 cubes margarine/butter
Cream together and then add the following:
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 cup flour
- 2 1/2 cup rolled oats (not quick oats)
Instructions:
Spread in a texas sheet pan and bake at 350 for 8-10 min. or until sides are tan and it has raised up a little. Wait until completely cooled before spreading the peanut butter or the bottom will be too soft.
Cover the top with the following frosting recipe:
- 1/2 bag powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 heaping tbsp shortening
- dash of salt
- heaping tbsp of butter
- heaping tbsp of cocoa
- 2 tbsp hershey's syrup
- milk to consistency
Mix and frost when bars are cool.

I love peanut butter. I don't think I have had a peanut butter bar for ever. I am so excited to try these.
I'm totally addicted to those Little Debbie Nutty bars, which can't be half as good as these look! I'm in charge of treats for a girls camp meeting tonight, which is the perfect excuse to share so I don't eat the whole pan myself! :)
These were DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
