  • 3 In medium bowl, beat cream cheese on medium speed until smooth. Add 3 eggs, the milk, peanut butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, until well mixed. Spoon peanut butter mixture over oat mixture in pan; spread evenly to edges of pan. Carefully crumble reserved oat mixture evenly over peanut butter layer.

Looking for a new recipe with peanut butter this looked good. I didn't read the other review until after I had already started & almost done! First off, I would only use 1/2 cup on the top for crumble. 1.5 cups is way too much, and would have been better served on the bottom. I also would have added some chocolate chips on the top layer or maybe some white chocolate. I did use a frosting that I dribbled on top -- 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 TBSP butter, 2 TBSP milk. Bring that to a rolling boil and add 1/4 cup chocolate chip (I usually double this). Drizzling this over the bars seems to help. Also, might want to add some salt to the recipe.
