How to Make Heavenly Oatmeal Bars Jordan Pond House

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Stir in ½ cup light corn syrup, 3 cups rolled oats, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with a wooden spoon until well combined.
  4. Using buttered fingers, press the oat mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
  5. Bake in the middle of the oven for 16-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  7. **Prepare the Glaze:** In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips and ½ cup creamy peanut butter, stirring constantly until smooth and glossy.
  8. Pour the warm glaze evenly over the cooled oat bars.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the glaze to set completely before cutting into 2x1-inch bars.
