Glazed Peanut Butter Bars


3/4 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

2 tsp. water

2 eggs

1 and 1/2 tsp. vanilla

1 and 1/2 cups flour

1 and 1/2 cups quick cooking oats

3/4 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt


Glaze:

1 and 1/4 cups milk chocolate chips

1/2 cup butterscotch chips

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter


In a large bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter, sugars, and water. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture.

Spread into a greased 15 in x 10 in x 1 in baking pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 18-22 minutes or until lightly browned.

For glaze, in a microwave safe bowl, melt chips and peanut butter; pour over warm bars and spread evenly. Cool completely on a wire rack.


If you like chocolate and peanut butter you will love these!! I did end up adding just a bit more flour because I thought the dough wasn't quite stiff enough. I also stored them in the fridge, but they don't need to be.
