OATMEAL PEANUT BUTTER BARS 
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter
2 cups oatmeal
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/3 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 to 1 cup chocolate chips

Melt butter in saucepan. Add remaining ingredients except peanut butter and chocolate chips. Press into greased 9x13-inch pan. Bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes or until light brown.

Remove from oven. Spoon peanut butter over hot base. Melt chocolate chips in a saucepan or microwave with 2 tablespoons butter. Drizzle over peanut butter and spread evenly.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
