This delicious recipe came from a friend at Church...She is always requested to make them, and for good reason...they are great! I put my own touch on them...hers only have the chocolate topping, I added the peanut butter, at my sons request. Kids love these...even the big ones...lol! The oat meal gives them a somewhat healthy aspect...or we can at least think so...also, makes them a bit chewy...reminds me a bit of granola... Enjoy! Pictures are mine

How To Make peanut butter fingers

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Spray a 9 x 13 baking pan with non stick cooking spray.
  • Step 2
    In a medium bowl; mix the butter, sugar and brown sugar together with a mixer until creamy.
  • Step 3
    Add the egg, peanut butter, baking soda, salt, vanilla, and flour. Mix until all ingredients are evenly blended.
  • Step 4
    Stir in the oatmeal by hand, just until evenly blended
  • Step 5
    Scrape the mixture into the greased pan and pat the batter with fingertips, until it is spread evenly onto the bottom of the pan.
  • Step 6
    Place in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. ( mine took 20 minutes )
  • Step 7
    Remove from the oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over the bars while they are still hot.
  • Step 8
    Allow the chips to sit for 5 minutes, or until soft enough to spread evenly over the top of the bars. If using peanut butter glaze, make it now.
  • Step 9
    I mix frosting ingredients together until smooth. Fold down the top of a baggie, add the frosting. Cut a hole on one corner of the bag, and pipe it onto the bars.
  • Step 10
    Enjoy!!
