How to Make Glazed Peanut Butter Bars
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 15x10 inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, and ¼ cup water until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups rolled oats, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- While the bars are still warm, prepare the glaze: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and ¼ cup peanut butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Pour the glaze evenly over the warm bars and spread to the edges using a spatula.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. For best results, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
