Peanut Butter Bars

3/4 c. butter, softened

3/4 c. peanut butter

3/4 c. sugar

3/4 c. packed brown sugar

2 tsp. water

2 eggs

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour

1 1/2 c. quick-cooking oats

3/4 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

Glaze:

1 1/4 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 c. butterscotch chips (or chocolate chips)

1/2 c. peanut butter

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter, sugars and water. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, oats, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture.

Spread into a greased 15-in x 10-in x 1-in baking pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 18-22 minutes or until lightly browned.

For glaze, in a microwave-safe bowl, melt chips and peanut butter; pour over warm bars and spread evenly. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting. Yield: 4 doz. Mindy's Note *I don't have a 15 x 10 in pan and a 9 x 13 pan is too small. I like to double the recipe and spread in two jelly roll/cookie sheet pans.
