CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER BARS 
PREPARE THE BASE:

1 c. sugar
1 stick butter
1 c. flour
1 c. oats
Dash of vanilla
1 egg

Combine ingredients and press onto a greased cookie sheet as though you were spreading pizza dough. Bake at 350 degrees until brown but not hard (about 8 minutes).

FOR THE CHOCOLATE LAYER:

While base is hot, pour a 12 ounce bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips onto the base. Let melt and spread the chocolate to the corners of the base. Let cool.

FOR THE GLAZE:

2/3 c. powdered sugar
1 tbsp. peanut butter

Cream together until a slightly thick consistency. Adjust sugar and peanut butter to taste. Add a bit of milk to achieve spreading consistency, if necessary. Drizzle glaze over top of the bars and spread evenly. Cut into bars when glaze has hardened.
