Peanut Butter Cream Bars

I've been making these bars since my kids were little; instantly I brand them for my grandchildren. I mean value that is the grade of a peachy recipe, don't you? 

This cookie bar has a creamy (peanut butter together with sweetened condensed milk) layer betwixt 2 chewy oatmeal cookie layers. As if that wasn't enough, the finished bars are drizzled amongst a peanut butter frosting glaze. They are SO GOOD together with they brand a peachy bake sale item.

 2 cups raw quick oats
1¾ cups brownish sugar
1½ cups all role flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 loving cup butter
2 cups chocolate chips (or ane loving cup mini chocolate chips)
1 beaten egg
14 ounce tin sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
1/3 loving cup creamy peanut butter

Combine the outset five ingredients inwards a large bowl together with and then cutting inwards the butter (like you lot would for a pie crust). I produce this stair amongst an electrical mixer, but don't produce it amongst a nutrient processor because it volition chop the oatmeal to finely.

Remove 1¾ cups of these crumbs together with set them inwards a pocket-size bowl with the chocolate chips together with ready it aside.

Mix the beaten egg into the remaining crumb mixture (not the business office amongst the chocolate chips) together with mix well. Press this mixture into a greased (I utilisation parchment newspaper instead of grease) 10" x 15" x 2" baking pan together with bake inwards preheated  350 oven for fifteen minutes.

While the base of operations is inwards the oven, whisk the sweetened condensed milk together amongst the creamy peanut butter together with ready aside.

When the partially baked crust comes out of the oven, drizzle the milk-peanut butter mixture evenly over the crust. Sprinkle evenly with the reserved crumb-chocolate fleck mixture together with bake, at 350, for about other fifteen minutes.

Drizzle the baked bars with peanut butter frosting piece they are however warm. Cool completely inwards the pan earlier cutting into squares.



NOTE: For rest of cutting, I draw of piece of employment the pan amongst parchment newspaper together with hold out out the sides a picayune long, thence I tin select grip of the COOLED bars together with elevator them out of the pan for slicing.

PEANUT BUTTER GLAZE

1/2 loving cup creamy peanut butter

2 tablespoons butter soft

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups powdered sugar

4 tablespoons milk

Now proceed inwards mind, I NEVER, together with I hateful NEVER stair out ingredients for a cake glaze, thence I'm hoping these amounts run for you.  Heat the peanut butter together with butter inwards the microwave until it is overnice together with soft.  Add the vanilla, milk together with carbohydrate together with whisk till smooth.  If it seems a picayune dry, only add together about other tablespoon or thence of milk. If it seems equally good soupy, add together a tablespoon or thence to a greater extent than powdered sugar.  When the glaze is overnice together with smooth, drizzle it over the warm bars.
