Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bars

This is a great recipe for those times when you need to feed a crowd, but it could easily be halved and baked in a 9x9 pan for smaller groups.

Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bars

1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cup peanut butter
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups oatmeal
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 13x9-inch baking dish. In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, sugar and vanilla. Mix in the peanut butter and eggs. Stir in the flour, baking soda and oatmeal until combined. Add chocolate chips. Spread batter into prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes or until set (do not over-bake). Cool and cut into squares.
