Peanut Butter Squares

Bars

• 1 cup Salted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Light brown sugar
• 2 ½ cups Creamy peanut butter
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 tsp Vanilla extract
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Old-fashioned oats
• 1 tsp Baking soda
• 1 tsp Salt

Frosting (could use chocolate cake frosting instead)

• ½ cup Salted butter
• 3 cups Powdered sugar
• 4 tbsp Cocoa powder
• ¼ cup Milk
• 2 tsp Vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a half-sheet baking sheet (13"x18") with baking spray
2. Beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and 1 cup of the peanut butter in a mixer until creamy and light. Add eggs and vanilla extract, then beat again, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl.
3. Add the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt. Mix just until combined. Spread the peanut butter oatmeal cookie dough into the prepared pan with a spatula. Bake for 15-17 minutes until golden brown around the edges and barely set in the middle. Do not overbake.
4. While the peanut butter oatmeal cookie base is still hot, melt the remaining 1 ½ cups of peanut butter in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl for 1 minute, then drizzle over the top of the bars, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula or knife. Let cool completely until the peanut butter has firmed up. This can be sped up by sticking the bars in the fridge.
5. Make the chocolate frosting by beating the butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth. Spread in an even layer over the cooled bars, then cut into squares.

Tropical Squares

1/2 cup corn syrup
1/2 c brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 cup Kellogg's Special K cereal
1 cup flaked coconut

Combine corn syrup & sugar in a 3-quart pan.  Cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture bubbles.  Remove from heat, stir in peanut butter.  Add cereal & coconut; stir until well coated.  Press evenly into bottom of 8x8-inch pan.  Let stand in cool place until firm.  Cut into squares.  

No Bake Energy Bites

• 3/4 cup all-natural peanut butter (if your natural peanut butter is refrigerated and is thick, try popping the measuring cup of peanut butter in the microwave for 10-15 seconds)
• 1 3/4 cup old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats
• 1/3 cup honey (or slightly more if needed to bind mixture together)
• 1/3 cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips (I used mini)

1. Add peanut butter to medium microwave-safe mixing bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, or until peanut butter is less solid. 
2. Add the rest of the ingredients to the mixing bowl, and stir for 2-3 minutes minutes until fully combined. At this point, if the dough is very sticky, you can refrigerate it for a 1-2 hours or pop it in the freezer for 30 minutes to slightly firm up.
3. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, form the dough into about 24 tablespoon-sized balls. Place on wax or parchment sheet or dish and refrigerate for about an hour before enjoying.
4. To store, place energy bites in a Ziploc bag or storage container. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes:
Depending on the type of peanut butter you use and its thickness, you may need to add slightly more honey or peanut butter to help the energy bites come together.
