Baked these this afternoon for DH, he loves them, his favourite flavour, also loves peanut butter cookies. The only thing I did different was to pour the chocolate chips on the hot bars as soon as I took them out of the oven and spread them as they melted on the hot bars. Saves another dirty pot. I had one bite and they are very good! He's already asking to make them often. Thanks for sharing. January 20 ,2007 , very good this time I made them with the chocolate inside, very good this way, infact DH likes them better this way. thanks again.

I am a peanut butter freak, so I made these to take to work for my birthday. These are great! I used crunchy peanut butter, and instead of melting the chips in a separate bowl, I put the chips on the bars after they had baked, then popped the pan back in the oven for a few minutes and spread them after they had melted. I did have to bake the bars about 10 minutes longer than the recipe states, as the center was still quite gooey. I might try adding another 1/4 cup of flour or oats next time to see if that might help them set up better. Other than that, these are extremely yummy and I will make them again (and I'm not waiting until my next birthday to do it!!). Thanks for posting! -M :-)

These are very good bars. I was a little confused on the pan size...I haven't seen an 11x13 pan. I have both 9x11 and 11x17. I used the 9x11 and had to bake them almost twice the time indicated. But, they turned out great after adjusting the baking time. The kids have just about polished off the bars and are requesting that I make them again "tomorrow". A tasty way to eat your oatmeal! Thanks.

These bars are fantastic! I like to bake healthy and low fat and therefore I made some healthy changes. I used only 1/2 cup brown sugar, substituted 1 1/2 cups applesauce for the 1 cup butter and used 100% whole wheat flour and natural crunchy peanut butter. With all these healthy changes, you may wonder how these would taste. I must say that even my parents and siblings loved these!!! they are a really healthy treat! Thanks for the recipe sly girl!!!
