CANDY BAR BARS

Category: Recipes

12 tablespoons butter, softened
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups rolled oats, quick cooking type
1 egg
1 can sweetened condensed milk
4 cups chopped candy bars, a mixture of Reeses and Snickers works well

Preheat oven to 350. Line a jelly roll with parchment paper or non-stick foil.
In large bowl, combine butter and peanut butter; add brown sugar, vanilla and baking soda and beat well. Stir in flour and oats. Set aside about 1 1/3 cups of the peanut butter mixture.

Stir egg into remaining peanut butter mixture in bowl. Using wet hands, pat into a baking pan, the layer will seem pretty thin and that there does not have enough cookie batter to cover the bottom and use for topping. But do not worry. Bake for 15 minutes.

Pour condensed milk over the crust. Stir together reserved peanut butter mixture and chopped candy bars. Bake 25 minutes or until golden brown. Set on a cooling rack and cool completely. When bars are absolutely, completely cool, go ahead and cut. Store leftovers loosely covered at room temperatures.
