Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Bars
Ingredients:
2 cups quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (=1-1/2 sticks) butter, melted
1 pkg (11-1/2 oz.) semisweet chocolate chunks, divided
1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
18 mini chocolate-covered peanut butter cups, chopped
2 cups quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (=1-1/2 sticks) butter, melted
1 pkg (11-1/2 oz.) semisweet chocolate chunks, divided
1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
18 mini chocolate-covered peanut butter cups, chopped
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in large bowl; blend well. Add butter; stir until crumbly. Remove 1-1/2 cups of the crumb mixture; set aside for later use. Press remaining crumb mixture firmly onto bottom of ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake 15 minutes or until crust is light brown around edges.
Microwave 1 cup chocolate chunks in medium microwavable bowl on HIGH 2 minutes; stir until chocolate is completely melted. Add milk and peanut butter, mix until well blended. Spread onto crust. Combine remaining chocolate chunks, the peanut butter cup pieces and 1-1/2 cups reserved crumb mixture; sprinkle evenly over filling.
Bake 25 minutes or until center is set. Cool completely. Cut into 40 bars to serve.
This takes about 45 minutes total, but only about 20 of it is hands-on...the other 25 is waiting for it to bake.
It even comes out like the photo that was on the original recipe...which doesn't always happen! :)
