Frosted Oatmeal Peanut Butter Bars

Are these not the best looking bars! And believe me they taste delicious. Day one they were yummy, day two they had improved, day three; still yummy. They didn't make it till day four. This makes a large pan, it is perfect to take to a family gathering or just share some with your neighbors.
This recipe comes from Taste of Home, I read through 8 pages of reviews and decided what I needed to do to make these mine. Several reviewers said it lacked peanut butter flavor--I added peanut butter chips, others said it was dry, I didn't overcook it! I added some oatmeal for body and because I love oatmeal.The best change I made was frosting!  Everything is better frosted don't you think. So, I'm happy to share with you:

Frosted Oatmeal Peanut Butter Bars
2/3 cup butter, soft
2/3 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar (7 ounces)
4 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1 cup oatmeal, quick
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk chocolate chips
1 cup Reese's Peanut Butter Chips
In the bowl of your mixer cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each one, add vanilla. In another bowl combine oatmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and chips. Gradually add to creamed mixture.
I baked mine in a Large Pampered Chef Bar Pan (the only true pan) that had been sprayed with Pam. Bake at 350 for 25-35 minutes. Do Not Over Bake. All ovens bake differently. Remove from oven when a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs attached. Cool and Frost with my favorite frosting. Cut in bars, clean your cutting knife often in hot water and dry, this will ensure clean cuts.
