PEANUT BUTTER FINGERS

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup white sugar

1 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup creamy peanut butter 

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

2 cups flour

2 cups quick oats

½ cup butter, softened (1 stick)

½ cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

5 to 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa

5 to 6 cups powdered sugar

Preheat the oven to 350°F.  In a mixer (or by hand), mix the butter and sugars together. Then add in the rest of the ingredients making sure they are fully mixed.  Press the dough in to a greased half sheet/jelly roll pan.

Bake for 15 minutes.  You will know they are done when the edges start to turn a golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when poked in the middle.

Let the bars cool completely before frosting.  For the chocolate frosting add the butter, milk, vanilla, powdered sugar and cocoa to a mixer or bowl and mix fully.
