Peanut Butter Cream Bars

I've been making these bars since my kids were little; directly I brand them for my grandchildren. I intend that is the grade of a bang-up recipe, don't you?

This cookie bar has a creamy (peanut butter as well as 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 as well as they brand a bang-up bake sale item.

2 cups raw quick oats
1¾ cups dark-brown sugar
1½ cups all job flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 loving cup butter
2 cups chocolate chips (or one 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 inward a large bowl as well as and then cutting inward the butter (like yous would for a pie crust). I produce this measuring 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 as well as lay them inward a modest bowl with the chocolate chips as well as ready it aside.

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

While the base of operations is inward the oven, whisk the sweetened condensed milk together amongst the creamy peanut butter as well as 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 as well as bake, at 350, for about other fifteen minutes.

Drizzle the baked bars with peanut butter frosting land they are yet warm. Cool completely inward the pan earlier cutting into squares.

NOTE: For relaxation of cutting, I describe of piece of work the pan amongst parchment newspaper as well as exit the sides a trivial long, thence I tin pick out grip of the COOLED bars as well as 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 hold out along inward mind, I NEVER, as well as I hateful NEVER mensurate ingredients for a cake glaze, thence I'm hoping these amounts hold out for you. Heat the peanut butter as well as butter inward the microwave until it is squeamish as well as soft. Add the vanilla, milk as well as saccharide as well as whisk till smooth. If it seems a trivial dry, but add together about other tablespoon or thence of milk. If it seems likewise soupy, add together a tablespoon or thence to a greater extent than powdered sugar. When the glaze is squeamish as well as smooth, drizzle it over the warm bars.
