This recipe comes from Jared's 9th grade foods class. I was impressed by it. :)

PEANUT BUTTER BARS

1 package semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup peanut butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups oats

Melt chocolate chips in the microwave or in a double boiler.
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter with peanut butter. Beat in sugar, egg, and vanilla. Add flour, soda, and salt. Add oats. Press about 3/4 of the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan. Spread melted chocolate chips over the top. Crumble remaining peanut butter mixture over the chocolate. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 20 mins.

Makes about 24.

Enjoy!
