Peanut Butter Bliss Bars




Source of Recipe


internet


List of Ingredients




1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

Icing
1 cup confectioners sugar
4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
4 tablespoons milk

Recipe



Heat oven to 350ºF. Grease a 13- by 9-inch baking dish and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, cream butter, both sugars and peanut butter. Add egg and vanilla; mix well. In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, baking soda and salt; stir into creamed mixture. Spread into prepared pan (the easiest way to do this is with an offset spatula, if you have one).

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with chocolate chips. Allow pan with chips on to set for 5 minutes, and then spread the now-melted chips evenly over the bars. (Chips will soften from the heat of the bars.)

Combine icing ingredients; spoon over bars and swirl to create a marbled effect with the chocolate (again, use the offset spatula). Cool completely before cutting.
Makes 3-4 dozen.
