Peanut Butter Bars!



This is an all time family favorite! You can never go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate. This will definitely cure those chocolate cravings.

Bar:

3/4 cup margarine
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups oatmeal
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 3/4 cup flour

Mix all ingredients until combined. Pat into a large cookie sheet.(No need to grease the pan.) Bake at 350 for 8 minutes. (Not a min. longer.. trust me. They will not look done, but they are!) Spread with an additional 1 cup of peanut butter. To make it easier to spread, warm in the microwave first. (I highly recommend this idea!!)
Cool completely then frost with chocolate frosting.

Chocolate Frosting:

1/4 cup melted margarine
1/2 cup cocoa
1-2 tablespoons milk (Depending on how runny you like your frosting.)
dash of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups of powdered sugar.

Mix well. Add more powdered sugar if too runny or more milk if too thick.

Enjoy with a nice tall glass of milk!
