Cooking Thursday

Here's a recipe for some bars that are perfect for when you need to feed quite a few people.  It makes a jelly roll pan, so you get a big bunch.  They are also very easy to do!  I used to make these a lot when my kids needed to bring goodies to school or church.  It's a recipe my mom got from my aunt when I was  in my teens, so it's an oldie - but a goodie!


Butterfinger bars

1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup melted butter
4 cups oatmeal
6 ounces chocolate chips
3/4 cup peanut butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix sugars, butter and oatmeal together.  Press into a greased 10x15 pan.  Bake 20-25 minutes until lightly browned.
Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter together.  Spread over bars.
Store in refrigerator.
