Peanut Butter Fudge Bars

These are quite yummy. I was a little disappointed by how thin the bars turned out, but no one else complained. My hubby took them to work and all his co-workers loved them. The frosting is just awesome!

Peanut Butter Fudge Bars

3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup peanut butter
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups quick oats

Cream together the butter and sugars. Add peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla and beat until smooth. Add dry ingredients and mix until a firm dough is formed. Press batter into a jelly roll pan. Bake at 325 for 12-15 minutes. The bars should be barely golden. If you overcook they could come out dry. Let the bars cool. Then prepare fudge frosting and spread over peanut butter bars. Allow to cool again before cutting into bars.

Fudge Frosting

1 cup sugar
5 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup milk
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup mini marshmallows

Place the sugar, butter, and milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and cook stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Boil stirring constantly for 1 minute. Remove the pan from heat, add chocolate chips and stir until melted, add marshmallows and stir until melted. Spread onto cooled bars.
