Preparation

Step 1

My Mom used to make these a lot when I was growing up, and I

loved them. Still do. For me, it's like a trip down memory lane whenever I make them.

It's all part of the job ... and we muddle through it. But a bit of chocolate never hurts to keep us going! Especially when that chocolate is mixed with yummy crunchy peanut butter. And then smothered on top of a golden-baked oatmeal base. Mmmmmm.

Make these. You'll be seriously glad you did. And I won't tell if you lick the pan {or baggie} they're in ... promise.

Directions

Cream butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer. Add oats, corn syrup, vanilla and salt. Stir well.

Press oat mixture firmly into a greased 9x13" baking pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes. Remove pan from oven and set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the chocolate-peanut butter topping in step 3.

In the top of a double boiler or in a saucepan over very low heat, melt crunchy peanut butter and chocolate chips together, stirring frequently.

Spread the chocolate-peanut topping evenly over the oat base. Place in the refrigerator to harden. Cut into squares once chilled.
