Chewy Caramel Bars

3/4 cup flour

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup oatmeal

1/2 cup melted butter

1 tsp. vanilla

3/4 cup white corn syrup

1 cup sugar

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

1 and 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Mix the first 5 ingredients. Pat into a 9 x 13 pan and bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Mix vanilla, corn syrup, and sugar in a pan; bring to a boil and add peanut butter. Pour over crust. Sprinkle 1 and 1/2 cups chocolate chips on top and put in warm oven to melt, but do not bake. Spread chocolate chips around to make a frosting.

I decided to try a couple of new recipes for a bake sale tomorrow. Enjoy!

Glazed Peanut Butter Bars

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

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.

1 cup corn syrup or honey

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup chocolate chips

4 cups oatmeal

1/2 cup mini M & M's

Boil corn syrup or honey to gentle bubbles, and remove from heat. Quickly add peanut butter, then chocolate chips until melted. Add oatmeal and M & M's. Press into lightly greased 9 x 13 pan.

These taste EXACTLY like Reece's Peanut Butter Cups! Yummy.
