Another great gift from Lora Brody. She says, Crisp, buttery oatmeal bars with a thick, creamy chocolate and peanut-butter glaze, they're a specialty of this restaurant in Maine's Acadia National Park . Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter |
1 1/3 cups dark brown sugar, packed |
3/4 cup light corn syrup |
5 1/3 cups quick-cooking oats |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips |
1 cup creamy peanut butter |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan.
3. Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with electric mixer until fluffy.
4. Stir in corn syrup, oats and vanilla with wooden spoon.
5. With buttered fingers, pat mixture evenly into prepared pan.
6. Bake in middle of oven 16 minutes. (Dough will still look moist near center. Don't overbake!).
7. Cool in pan on rack until lukewarm.
8. Glaze: combine the semisweet chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter in a small saucepan. Stir over low heat until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth.
9. Spread warm Glaze over top.
10. Cool completely (may be refrigerated) before cuting into 2x1-inch bars.
