Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
So first of all to all my regular readers, I would like to apologize for changing the look of my blog so often. I am still trying to find that perfect look. I won't make any promises to not change it anymore, but I will hopefully just keep improving on the readability and ease of use.
Okay enough of that! Now onto the recipe of the day. I decided to do a dessert today. i tried this recipe a few weeks ago and it was so freakin delicious! I've tried a different recipe like this before but this one was the perfect peanut butter to chocolate ratio. The oatmeal in it also makes it okay to have it for breakfast...right?
Recipe from Cafe Mom
Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
2 cups quick-cooking oats
1 3/4 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup butter
1/2 cup chopped peanuts
1 cup (6 oz. pkg.) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 large egg, beaten
1 (14 oz.) can Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
HEAT oven to 350°F. Combine oats, brown sugar, flour, baking powder and baking soda in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in peanuts.
RESERVE 1 1/2 cups crumb mixture. Stir egg into remaining crumb mixture. Press onto bottom of 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
BAKE 15 minutes.
STIR together sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter in small bowl until well combined. Pour evenly over partially baked crust.
STIR together reserved crumb mixture and chocolate chips. Sprinkle evenly over peanut butter layer.
BAKE an additional 15 minutes. Cool. Cut into bars.
Notes: When spreading oatmeal mixture on top, make sure your butter is evenly distributed, otherwise you will end up with powder on top instead of cooked dough.
