Ingredients

• Squares
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup uncooked oats or instant oats
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (9 ozs.)


• Glaze
• 2/3 cup confectioner's (powdered) sugar, sifted
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 3-4 tablespoons milk

Directions

Squares
Preheat oven to 350° F.

In an electric mixer bowl, combine together peanut butter, butter and granulated and brown sugars and beat until creamy. Add egg and vanilla and mix on low medium until creamy.

In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, soda, salt and oats. Set electric mixer to low speed and gradually add flour mixture to peanut butter mixture. Continue mixing (scraping sides and bottom to incorporate all) just until fully blended. Transfer dough to a buttered 9 x 12-inch pan and spread out evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips evenly all over top. Let stand 5 minutes, then spread chips to completely and evenly cover top.

Glaze
Combine sifted confectioner's sugar with peanut butter and milk, adding only enough milk to make a thin drizzling consistency. Drizzle evenly over the chocolate layer. Allow to cool for 30 minutes or more, then cut into bars.
