Finger Lickin' Good!!!

These look and tast amazing! We love this dessert at my house, and it goes quickly!!! I made these for my husband for his Father's Day Dessert. We ate it all up. (I said we...it was for him...and me!) This is one dessert that is hard to share. My love for this dessert goes back to elementary school lunch. I loved Peanut Butter Bar Day! To this day I will never turn down a Peanut Butter Bar. This recipe comes from the Lion House Desserts cook book. There are a lot of yummy recipes in this book. I love it! I know you will love this delicious dessert. I love the oats/peanut butter/chocolate combo! I've got a great cookie recipe with this same combo. It will be coming shortly. Till then, you must try these bars!

Pour and spread peanut butter frosting over chocolate frosting. Cool thoroughly, then cut into 24 bars. Enjoy!

*Tip from me... I love the peanut butter frosting, so I make a little bit more than the recipe says. It gives you just a little bit more gooey frosting to lick off of your fingers!
