Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • 1 cup butter

  • ½ cup packed brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 3 cups quick cooking oats

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

  • ½ cup peanut butter


Directions

  1. Grease a 9-inch square pan.

  2. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and vanilla; mix in oats. Cook over low heat until ingredients are well blended, about 2 to 3 minutes. Press 1/2 of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Reserve remaining oat mixture for topping.

  3. Meanwhile, melt chocolate chips and peanut butter in a small heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Pour chocolate mixture over crust in the pan and spread evenly with a knife or the back of a spoon.

  4. Crumble remaining oat mixture over chocolate layer, pressing down gently. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours or overnight. Bring to room temperature before cutting into bars.

Tips

These bars can be frozen; thaw 10 minutes before serving.
