Peanut Butter Oat Bars

Yummy bars.  Or forget to layer the oat mixture and mix everything together and you have yourself a nice brownie/cake (wasn't following the instructions and voila.....yeah I meant to do that).  And by the way, evaporated milk is not the same as sweetened condensed milk.

Heat oven to 350F.  Lightly grease 13X9 inch baking pan.

1 cup peanut butter chips
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup butter
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup quick cooking oats
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup chopped peanuts

Combine chips and 1/4 cup butter in a sauce pan.  Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until melted.  Remove from heat and add milk.  Stir and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine remaining 1/2 cup butter, flour, oats, sugar, egg, baking soda and vanilla.  Stir until blended.

Put 1/2 cup of the flour mixture aside.  Press the remainder of the mixture into the pan to form a base.  Spread the melted chip mixture evenly over the base.  Sprinkle the 1/2 cup flour mixture and peanuts on top.

Bake for 30 minutes.  Let cool at least 2 hours before cutting to let the bars firm up.
