Peanut Butter Brownies

INGREDIENTS

For the brownies:

1/2 c. butter, softened
1 c. sugar

1 3/4 c. brown sugar
1 c. peanutbutter
3 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt
1 Tbs. vanilla
3 c. flour
2 1/2 c. oats

1-2 c. more peanut butter

For the frosting:

1/2 c. butter
1/4 c. cocoa powder
2-3 Tbs. milk
3-4 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

DIRECTIONS 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Cream the butter and sugars.  Add the peanut butter and eggs, mix.  Add the baking soda, salt, vanilla, flour and oats, mix.  Press onto a cookie sheet pan. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes, they don't look done, but I promise they are. 

Cool for 5 minutes then spread a layer of peanut butter on top.   Make the frosting.

Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl.  Add the cocoa powder and mix with a hand mixer.  Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mix well.  Add milk as needed.  The frosting should be a bit runny, so it's easy to spread on top of the peanut butter.  

Allow the brownies to cool completely and the frosting to set.  Cut into pieces and serve!
