Warning! The following recipe is more addicting that drugs, alcohol and red rope licorice combined!!! Behold! The long lost recipe that your lunch lady used when you were a child for those supremely tasty Peanut Butter Bars
1 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
3 eggs
2 cups oatmeal
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1 cup peanut butter
Mix together and bake in a lightly greased 13" x 18 1/2" pan at 350o F for 15-20 minutes (underbake). When cool spread with a thin layer of peanut butter then frost.
Frosting
1/4 cup softened butter
1 tsp vanilla
4 tbsp cocoa
4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
mix
Using a pizza cutter works pretty well in slicing up the pan. We usually do a 4 x 6 grid yielding 24 squares. Now if you are on any kind of diet or trying to eat healthy I'll tell you right now this is not a good idea to make. But is it delicious? Oh man, give me a half gallon of milk (because these things are very rich) and a couple of squares and I'm in heaven. So enjoy in moderation, yeah right, just make enough so that everyone gets their fill :)
I'm out of oatmeal, but I'm temped to borrow some from my neighbor just so I can make some. Yummmmmm......
