Instructions

5 steps

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan. In a large bowl, cream the butter, margarine, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.

2
Beat in the egg and vanilla, then blend in 1 cup peanut butter. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then stir the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture until well blended. Stir in the oats.
3
Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared pan and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top.
4
Bake for about 25 minutes, until set and golden. Cool in the pan on a rack until just warm.
5
Make the glaze: beat the confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, melted butter, milk, and vanilla together until smooth. Drizzle over the warm bars, then let cool completely and cut into about 48 small bars.
