Lunch Lady Peanut Butter Bars

By bloomysgirl

Amy's DELICIOUS recipe that she got from Six Sisters Stuff

Ingredients

• bars:
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
• 1 cup butter
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 2 1/2 cups peanut butter (divided)
• 2 cups oatmeal (not quick)
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• frosting:
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) margarine, softened
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1-2 tsp vanilla (depending on your taste)
• 3 Tablespoons cocoa (I have never really exactly measured)
• 2-3 cups of powdered sugar
• Mix all ingredients with a hand mixer until smooth and spread on top of bars.

Preparation

Step 1

Cream first 3 ingredients together. Add the vanilla, eggs, and 1 cup peanut butter and combine. Add the remaining ingredients and mix together. Spread dough on a greased jelly roll pan (18x13x1"). Make at 350 degrees for 15 minutes (until golden brown). While hot spread the other 1 1/2 cups peanut butter on top. Drop all over top by little spoonfuls. It will soften (melt) and make it easier to spread. Then let cool so that the peanut butter has become solid again (I usually throw them in the fridge so they set up faster and so I can eat them sooner!). Spread your favorite chocolate frosting on top and cut into bars.
