Peanut Butter Bars

¾ c. margarine ¾ c. brown sugar
¾ c. sugar 2 eggs
¾ c. peanut butter 2 tsp. vanilla
1 ½ c. flour ¾ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt 1 1/2 c. oatmeal
Mix margarine, sugars, and eggs. Beat well. Add peanut butter and vanilla and mix well. Stir in dry ingredients.
Spread batter in greased 9x13 pan.
Bake @ 350 for 15-20 minutes. Edges will just start to lightly brown. Let cool completely.

Filling:
¾ c. peanut butter
½ c. margarine
2 ½ c. powdered sugar
Mix all well. Add milk until filling is spreadable (about ¼ c.)
Spread on cooled bars.

Topping:
Melt 1 package milk chocolate chips. Spread over filling.
Let sit several hours or overnight for easier cutting. This also allows the chocolate to set up. Don’t refrigerate—chocolate will be too hard to cut.

Everytime someone asks me to bring a dessert--this is the one they want me to bring. I only make these to take somewhere, because I will eat the whole pan if they are sitting at my house.
