Hearts Like the Fourth of July: No Bake Peanut Butter Bars

We have major sweet teeth.

it's really no secret.

This whole summer, we haven't made many goodies, which is really weird for us. The reason is mainly because it's so hot outside, and turning on the oven just makes it hotter. So, today we found these no bake peanut butter bars on Pinterest, but we changed the recipe a little bit to accommodate what we had, and to make it a little easier. They turned out quite delicious, so we thought we'd share. (see original recipe here)

1 1/2 cups of rolled oats

3 1/2 cups of powdered sugar

1 cup (2 sticks) of butter

1 1/2 cups of creamy peanut butter

12 oz. (1 bag) of semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 TBS. of peanut butter

Combine rolled oats, powdered sugar, (melted) butter and peanut butter (the 1 1/2 cups, not the tablespoon) in a bowl. Mix well! Put in a 9x13 pan (greased)

Melt chocolate chips and tablespoon of peanut butter in a small sauce pan. Be careful not to burn it! Spread chocolate over the peanut butter mixture. Let cool in fridge.

There you've got it! We got 20 decent sized squares out of one batch.
