Day 2 - Peanut Butter Bars

OK, so we didn't just eat Peanut Bars for dinner, but they were fantastic! We got invited to a church Potluck. All I had to make was dessert. This is my favorite recipe for P.B. Bars. I combined a couple of recipes from my good friends Katie and Kandice and this is the result. They'll disappear . . . I promise!!

Peanut Butter Bars
1 1/4 c. butter
1 1/8 c. sugar
1 1/8 c. brown sugar
1 1/8 c. peanut butter
3 eggs
3/4 tsp. salt
1 1/8 tsp. soda
2 1/4 c. flour
2 1/4 c. quick oatmeal
________________________________________
2 c. peanut butter

Blend butter, sugars and peanut butter until smooth. Add eggs, salt and soda. Stir in flour and oatmeal. Place on large cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 22 minutes (don't overcook!). While cooking whip 2 c. peanut butter with a fork. When it comes out of the oven, let it cool for 10 minutes and then spread the whipped peanut butter on top. Let cool completely. Then make the frosting.

Frosting
1 cube butter
6 Tbsp. milk
3 Tbsp. cocoa
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 lb. powdered sugar

Combine margarine, milk, and cocoa in a saucepan and cook until it bubbles. Remove from heat, add vanilla and powdered sugar and mix well. Spread on top of the peanut butter layer and let cool completely again.
