Peanut Butter Bars


1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup soft butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
Cream together,

Add,
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. soda
1 1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 cup oatmeal (old fashioned)
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

1 bag milk chocolate chips(11.5oz)

Press into cookie sheet. Bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes. Do not overbake. Remove from oven and immediately top with 1 bag milk chocolate chips. Allow to melt and spread evenly.
When chocolate has cooled and hardened, frost with peanut butter frosting. You may need to stick this in the fridge, especially during summer, or it will take forever for the chocolate to harden.

Frosting:
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup soft butter
1/4 cup powdered milk
Enough powdered sugar for spreading consistency. (No more than two cups.)

I found a lot of the recipes I tried tasted greasy and by increasing the peanut butter and decreasing the butter, you get much more flavor.
Just made this again, for the picture. Didn't want to open a can of canned milk for just a 1/4 cup milk so I used what I had in the fridge. Turned out to be heavy cream and a splash of nut milk. The frosting turned out fabulous so I think you could use what you have on hand.
