Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13x9-inch pan.
2 In large bowl, beat granulated and brown sugars, butter, 1/3 cup peanut butter and the egg with electric mixer on medium speed. Stir in flour, oats, baking soda and salt. Spread in pan.
3 Bake 17 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on wire rack, about 15 minutes.

Yummy! The bars were chewy, and the oatmeal was a great addition.

Delicious! Play around with the consistency of the frostings or they will be very hard to spread. You want them spreadable but not too thin or thick.

The base of these came out a little bit dry for me, but overall they're really good. They're also super quick and easy to make- I'm especially a fan of the easy home made frosting. I didn't get it to marble like the picture, but the bars still looked and tasted very good.
