1 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. rolled oats
1/2 c. brown sugar (packed)
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spoon flour into cup to measure. Level off.

In a small bowl mix all the ingredients until crumbly. Reserve 1 cup of crumbs for topping. Press remaining crumbs into an ungreased 9-inch square or a 7x11-inch pan.

Filling:

1/4 c. sugar
1 tbsp. flour
1/2 c. chocolate syrup
1/2 c. peanut butter
1 (3 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened

Prepare filling by combining sugar, flour, chocolate syrup, peanut butter and cream cheese in a bowl. Blend until smooth. Spread filling carefully over crust, then sprinkle reserved topping crumbs over top. Bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes until lightly browned.

When cooled, cut into bars.
