Peanut Butter Bars

Every Sunday afternoon we visit with some friends from our church. Our time together is a great encouragement and support to us. And each week I bake a dessert to share. Recently I brought these Peanut Butter Bars. They are similar to brownies in texture and can be eaten by hand like a cookie. Although I like to put a thin layer of icing on top, they don't really need it. 

Peanut Butter Bars
½ cup butter, melted
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup peanut butter
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup flour
½ cup oats
1 tsp. baking soda

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

In a bowl, stir together butter and sugars. Add peanut butter, egg and vanilla and stir until combined. Add flour, oats, baking soda, and salt and mix until thouroughly blended. Stir in chocolate chips. Spread into a greased 9X13 pan. Bake at 350º for 18-22 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Icing:
½ cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp. peanut butter

Stir together all ingredients and drizzle or spread over warm bars. Cool completely and serve.
