Peanut Butter Fingers

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup peanut butter, creamy
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup flour
1 cup instant oats
1 6-ounce package milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup peanut butter, creamy
1 1/2 tbsp milk

Cream butter and white and brown sugar. Blend in egg, 1/3 cup peanut butter, baking soda, salt and vanilla. Stir in flour and oatmeal. Pour into greased 9 by 13 baking pan and bake for 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
While bars are cooking prepare topping: Cream powdered sugar, 1/4 cup peanut butter, and enough milk to make mixture spreading consistency. Remove pan from oven and sprinkle bars with chocolate chips. Let stand 5 minutes, then spread like frosting. With knife of spatula, swirl peanut butter frosting over chocolate topping. Cook thoroughly, then cut into bars. We like to double this recipe.
