How to Make Emily's Easy Peanut Butter Bars
- **Make the Crust:**
- In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups rolled oats, ½ cup packed brown sugar, and 1 cup all-purpose flour.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Set aside.
- **Prepare the Peanut Butter Topping:**
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix, 2 large egg whites, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, and 1 cup creamy peanut butter. Mix until completely smooth.
- Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the oat crust in the pan.
- Sprinkle ½ cup chopped nuts (such as peanuts or pecans) and ½ cup chocolate chips over the top.
- **Bake:** Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden brown. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
