Instructions

7 steps

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 13x9-inch pan. In a large bowl, cream the margarine with the brown and white sugars until light.

2
Blend in the egg, then add the 1/2 cup peanut butter and the vanilla, mixing until smooth.
3
Stir in the flour, quick oats, baking soda, and salt until combined. Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
4
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is set.
5
While still hot, sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top; let them soften for a minute, then spread into an even layer.
6
Make the icing by stirring together the 1/4 cup peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth. Swirl over the melted chocolate.
7
Let cool completely, then cut into squares.
