• Butter 1/2 cup
• Packed brown sugar 1/2 cup
• Vanilla extract 1 teaspoon
• Quick cooking oats 3 cup
• Semisweet chocolate chips 1 cup
• Peanut butter 3/4 cup

Grease a 9x9 inch square pan.

Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat.

Stir in brown sugar and vanilla extract. Mix in the oats.

Cook over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until ingredients are well blended.

Press half of mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.

Reserve the other half for topping.

Meanwhile, melt chocolate chips and peanut butter in a small heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth.

Pour the chocolate mixture over the crust in the pan, and spread evenly with a knife or the back of a spoon.

Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the chocolate layer, pressing in gently.

Cover, and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours or overnight.

Bring to room temperature before cutting into bars.
