Ingredients:

Peanut Butter Squares

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened

1/3 cup peanut butter

1 egg

1 cup Gold Medal® all-purpose flour

1 cup old-fashioned oats

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons unsweetened baking cocoa

1 tablespoon milk

Peanut Butter Frosting

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1/4 cup crunchy peanut butter

2 to 2 1/2 tablespoons milk 

 

Directions:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13x9-inch pan.
• In large bowl, beat granulated and brown sugars, butter, 1/3 cup peanut butter and the egg with electric mixer on medium speed. Stir in flour, oats, baking soda and salt. Spread in pan.
• Bake 17 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on wire rack, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix all Peanut Butter Frosting ingredients until smooth and spreadable; reserve 1/3 cup. Stir cocoa and 1 tablespoon milk into remaining frosting until smooth. If necessary, stir in additional milk until spreadable.
• Spread cooled bars with cocoa frosting. Drop Peanut Butter Frosting by teaspoonfuls onto cocoa frosting; swirl through frostings for marbled design. For squares, cut into 8 rows by 6 rows.
