Passion Bars

Submitted by ChefChic

"This is a recipe I found on allrecipes, and I wanted to get accurate nutrition facts for it... For larger bars, cut into 12 and serve alone as a dessert."

 

• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 24

ingredients

• 2 cups quick-cooking oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 3⁄4 cup butter
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 3⁄4 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the oats, flour, brown sugar, salt and baking soda. Cut in the butter to form a crumbly mixture.
3. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the crumbs, and pat the rest evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
4. In a medium bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter. Spread evenly over the oatmeal layer.
5. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the peanut butter layer, then crumble the reserved crust over the top.
6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

I whipped these up one morning before work and they were completely devoured before lunch. I didn't have quite enough peanut butter so i sprinkled some mini reese piece baking bits which tasted fine. I'm a sucker for anything that has sweetened condensed milk in it so i knew it would be a winner. Thanks

Original review on 04-08-2011 ~ Easily prepared and VERY RICH! ~ Have the milk or coffee near by! I used old fashioned oats and extra crunchy peanut butter! Baked in Pyrex at 325F for 25 minutes ~ Made for my Preemie Orphanage Adoption of Chef [e-mail] Spring PAC 2011 ~ Edited review on 04-15-2011 to clarify which chef I adopted, because [e-mail]'s recipe was a duplicate of ChefChic's Passion Bars!

YUMMY!!!!!! I made extra crumbs so I could have a thicker crust and I also baked this in an 8x11 pan so the bars are really thick. Super delicious! We had them straight out of the oven when they were still all gooey. Can't wait to try them when they are cool. Thank you ChefChic!!
