OATMEAL PEANUT BUTTER BARS 
3/4 c. butter
2 c. uncooked quick-cooking oatmeal
1 1/4 c. flour
1 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. water
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/3 c. dark corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
1/2 c. peanut butter
1 (6 oz.) pkg. chocolate chips

Melt butter in a saucepan and stir in the oatmeal, flour, brown sugar, salt, water, soda, dark corn syrup, vanilla and egg. Blend well and spread in a lightly greased 9 x 13 inch pan.

Bake at 375 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until bars are a light golden brown. Remove from oven and spread the peanut butter over the hot bars. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips. Cover with foil for a few minutes so heat melts the chocolate.

Spread the melted chocolate to frost. Makes about 3 dozen bars, depending upon the size of bars.
