These are one of my husband's favorites, so I whipped him up a batch tonight. Thought I'd share this good old classic recipe. There are many versions of peanut butter bars, but I find this one that mixes the peanut butter into the frosting is quite delightsome.
Cream together:
2 cubes butter
1 cup peanut butter
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
Then mix in:
1 tsp. baking soda
2 cups flour
2 cups quick oats
Press mixture onto a large cookie sheet. Bake @ 350 for 15 minutes or until golden brown. (You can bake in a 9x13, but they will be thick and need at least 30 minutes to bake.) Top with frosting recipe below. Allow to cool, cut & serve.
Peanut Butter & Chocolate Frosting:
1 cube butter
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 T. vanilla
Stir together all ingredients over medium high heat until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in 1 lb powdered sugar (about 3 1/2 cups). Spread over peanut butter bars.
