Provided by Camille Beckstrand

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup butter (softened)
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2½ cups peanut butter (divided)
2 cups old fashioned oats
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup butter (softened)
¼ cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 Tablespoons cocoa powder
3 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugar and brown sugar together.
  • Add vanilla, eggs, and 1 cup of the peanut butter; stir to combine.
  • Add oats, flour, baking soda and salt and mix until well combined.
  • Spray a baking sheet (half sheet jelly roll pan that is approximately 17.8 x 12.8 x 1 inch) with nonstick cooking spray and spread out dough in an even layer.
  • Bake for 15 minutes and remove from oven.
  • Drop remaining peanut butter (about 1 1/2 cups) by very small spoonfuls (we use a baby spoon) all over on top of warm bars. Let set for about 5-6 minutes and gently spread when peanut butter has begun to melt. It will spread easily when the peanut butter has softened on the warm bars. Don't try to spread it while still thick.
  • Then let the bars cool until peanut butter has set up.
  • While cooling, mix together frosting ingredients with a hand mixer until smooth and spread on top of bars.
  • Cut into bars and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will help ensure that your peanutty candy bars are of the highest quality.
  • Don't overcook the sugar mixture. If you do, it will become hard and brittle.
  • Be careful when melting the chocolate. If you overheat it, it will seize and become unusable.
  • Let the candy bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store the candy bars in a cool, dry place. They will keep for up to two weeks.

Conclusion:

Peanutty candy bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a candy bar that is sure to please everyone.
