Frosted Peanut Butter Fingers

I like to make these because they're yummy, fast
and I always have these ingredients on hand.

I found this recipe in my Baking Classics Cookbook.

These bars are sweet and chewy. You can treat a whole crowd!

1 cup butter, softened

1-1/2 cups brown sugar

1 cup sugar

2-1/2 cups creamy peanut butter, divided
1 egg
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla
2-1/2 cups quick cooking oats
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Chocolate  Frosting:
6 Tbl. butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1 tsp. vanilla
6-8 Tbl. milk

In a large bowl, cream butter ans sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 cup peanut butter, egg and vanilla. Combine the oats, flour, baking soda and salt; gradually  add to creamed mixture and mix well.

Spread or press into a greased 15"x10"x1' baking pan. Bake at 350 for 13-17 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly on a wire rack. Spread with remaining peanut butter. Cool completely.

In a large bowl, beat the butter, powdered sugar, cocoa, vanilla and enough milk to achieve spreading consistancy. Spread over peanut butter. Cut into bars.

Note: Don't use reduced-fat, or generic peanut butter. I rarely use all the frosting so you could scale it down to 2 cups powdered sugar and just eye ball how much milk to get the right consistancy.
