• Bake for 15 minutes and remove from oven.
• Drop remaining peanut butter (about 1 1/2 cups) by very small spoonfuls (we use a baby spoon) all over on top of warm bars. Let set for about 5-6 minutes and gently spread when peanut butter has begun to melt. It will spread easily when the peanut butter has softened on the warm bars. Don't try to spread it while still thick.
• Then let the bars cool until peanut butter has set up.
• While cooling, mix together frosting ingredients with a hand mixer until smooth and spread on top of bars.
• Cut into bars and serve.

LUNCH LADIES PEANUT BUTTER BARS

Steps:

• Note - for the right kind of peanut butter and frosting see my notes at the bottom of the directions.
• Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease or spray an 18x12 inch pan (also called a half sheet pan.).
• Cream the two sugars and butter together for a couple of minutes until light and creamed.
• Add the vanilla, eggs and first noted peanut butter and blend into the sugar/butter mixture until smooth.
• In a separate bowl mix together the oats, flour, baking soda and salt then mix into the wet just until combined, don't over mix or you'll get a tough cookie.
• Spread this out evenly onto the prepared pan.
• Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown and toothpick comes out clean but the cookie should be set up.
• Let the cookie stand about 5 minutes before spreading on the second noted creamy peanut butter on top. You want to spread it on carefully so you don't rip the cookie apart. This is also why you wait a few minutes before putting it on.
• Cool the cookie completely so that the peanut butter has become solid again then spread frosting on top and let it set up so it will hold up to cutting and then cut into bars. Traditionally the cookie was about 4 inches long by 1 1/2 inches wide. (Natural/organic peanut butter will not set up solid for this to work.).
• Notes: (the first update was about ten to fifteen years after originally posting. Another update in 2020 - a few more questions I realized I did not write in correctly and some clarification that 20 year old me who'd never written up a recipe for others forgot to add. I'll get there eventually.):.
• * PEANUT BUTTER - it has to be the hydrogenated kind just the simple cheap stuff. Do not use organic or natural its not the same taste, and it doesn't harden up like the cheaper stuff does.
• * FROSTING - You can make a regular chocolate buttercream frosting, which is what is in the photo. But the frosting in the container off the shelf will work just as well.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER SNACK CAKES

Steps:

• FOR THE CAKE:.
• Preheat the oven to 325.
• Line one "jelly roll" pan with parchment paper cut exactly to fit the bottom of the pan, spraying the sides and bottom with nonstick spray before lining.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the warm water with the cocoa powder until smooth. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl by hand), beat the sugar, oil, vanilla and eggs on medium speed until combined. Turn the machine to lowest speed and add the flour, baking soda and salt. Stir until just incorporated, but do not over mix! Stream in the cocoa power and water mixture and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. Stir in the buttermilk, the batter will be very thin. Spread the batter into an even layer making sure to get into the corners of the pan. Bake at 325 for 8 to 10 minutes until the cake is just barely baked through. If you over-bake it will be crispy. Let cool.
• FOR THE FROSTING:.
• In a stand mixer, or by hand, beat together the cream cheese, peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the whole milk and salt and mix until incorporated.
• FOR THE GLAZE:.
• Gently melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Stir in the oil.
• Place a wire cooling rack on top of a parchment lined jelly roll pan.
• Drop the frosting in small dollops over the cake, then spread it evenly using an offset spatula. Remove the frosted cake from the pan and place on a cutting board, keeping the parchment attached.
• Using sharp scissors, cut the cake horizontally into two strips. Cut each strip into 6 even sections. Using the parchment to help, turn the segments into a tight roll. Because the cake is pliable, you can mold it into a perfect log. Place the rolls seam side down on the wire glazing rack. Pour the glaze over each log and top with chopped peanuts, reusing the extra glaze that has dripped through the wire rack onto the parchment.
