Peanut Butter Bars with Icing

For peanut butter bars:
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup peanut butter
2 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups oatmeal

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together. I add peanut butter and oatmeal last for easier mixing. Spoon into rectangular pan and place in the oven for 15 minutes.

For peanut butter icing:
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup milk
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Beat peanut butter and vanilla. Beat in a little of your 1/3 cup of milk and 1 cup of powdered sugar until smooth. Slowly beat in the rest of the milk and powdered sugar. Spread over peanut butter bars once cooled.

**A favorite dessert of mine. Be ready to share though. It makes a lot.
