THE BEST Peanut Butter Fingers (no lie!)

So after receiving many versions of this much sought after school lunch favorite... I have created my own recipe using what I liked from them all :) These are truly amazing. I told Flint that we need to get rid of atleast half the pan ASAP or I will 1. probably suffer some terrible pregnancy heartburn and/or 2. we will both gain about ten pounds. (We are huge suckers for chocolate and peanut butter... in just about any form) Enjoy! So yummy.

Peanut Butter Fingers

1 Cup Butter

1 tsp. Vanilla

1 cup Sugar

1 tsp. Baking Soda

1 Cup Brown Sugar

1/2 tsp. Salt

2 Eggs

2 Cups Flour

2/3 Cup Peanut Butter (plus more to spread on top)

2 Cups Oats

 

Mix all ingredients together. Press into greased 11x17 cookie pan, bake 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Do not Overcook!  While still warm, frost with a layer of peanut butter and then frosting. I let my peanut butter cool slightly before I poured on the frosting. 

 

Frosting

1 C. Butter

4 C. Powdered Sugar

1/4 C. Cocoa

1 tsp. Vanilla

1-5 T. Milk

 

Mix butter, cocoa, and vanilla in pan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add powdered sugar. Beat. If mixture is too thick, add 1-5 T. milk. Frosting sets up quickly, so be prepared to spread it immediately.
