Davis County School District Peanut Butter Bars

Let's take a little mental break from reality and remember walking into the lunch room in elementary school. You've been excited about it all day because today is PEANUT BUTTER BAR DAY! Wake up adults! But guess what...today is PEANUT BUTTER BAR DAY. And, everyday can be from here on out. Here is the OFFICIAL DAVIS COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT PEANUT BUTTER BAR RECIPE.

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
1 cup oats
additional peanut butter
chocolate frosting

1. Cream butter and sugars together.
2. Add eggs, vanilla, and peanut butter and mix.
3. Mix all dry ingredients into above mixture.
4. Spread on greased cookie sheets.
5. Bake at 325 for 10 minutes (very lightly browned)
6. When COMPLETELY cooled, spread with thin layer of WHIPPED peanut butter. (This is the step that separates these peanut butter bars from what the stores call the same. Throw creamy peanut butter into your Kitchenaid with the whisk on and let it whip until fluffy - maybe 3 minutes - then spread a thin layer over the top...yummy!)
7. Frost with chocolate icing. (I get just the frosting from the store (in the can), but I warm it up in the microwave for maybe 30 seconds so that it doesn't pull the peanut butter off by kind of molds onto it.)
8. Eat. Smile.
