Ingredients

1/2 cup Crisco shortening
1/2 cup butter margarine may be substituted
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup peanut butter flavored peanut butter may be added if it pairs well with the minis
2 large eggs
1 and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup quick cooking oats
2 cups Reese's minis

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)
Spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray or line with waxed paper or foil leaving edges over-hanging.*
In the bowl of a mixture, cream shortening, butter (or margarine), brown sugar, granulated sugar, and peanut butter until smooth.
Beat in eggs one at a time.
In another bowl, combine flour, soda and salt. Stir into creamed mixture.
Mix in oats and peanut butter cups until just combined.
Spread into a well-greased 9x13 inch pan. I prefer a light-colored metal or glass pan.
Cook 20 to 22 minutes at 350 degrees F. Remove and cool on a wire rack.

Notes

If you pan to take the bars somewhere and need pretty cut bars, leave the edges of the foil or waxed paper over-hanging. Use this over-hang as handles to remove the bars when cool. For clean-cut bars, don't cut until cold. Better still is to refrigerate and cut while they're still cold. I used Peanut butter Co.'s The Bee's Knees in this recipe. It's a peanut butter with honey. Substitute even amounts of M&Ms, Rolos, chopped candy bars, or other candy of your choice for the minis.©CallMePMc.com All images & content are copyright protected.
