Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars

   Peanut butter is always a hit at my house! These Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars will definitely please any peanut butter lover! This is an old recipe from my childhood that I pulled out a few months ago. My kids devoured them in minutes which makes this a new favorite in our house!
   I just made a double batch..., and they were gone in less than 10 minutes! I almost didn't get any myself! (Here my husband is taking the last few, but he saved the last three for me.)

   When I double this recipe... which I have to if I want any myself... I use the large Pampered Chef bar pan.
