Tomorrow is Grace's birthday. The "tradition" in our family is to let the kids choose their birthday cake/dessert & the meal menu. This year Grace requested hobo dinners (a camping favorite) and dirt cake. I couldn't remember if my "dirt cake" recipe card was filed under "desserts" or "cakes"...so I decided to go through all my dessert "categories" & was surprised to find a recipe I had lost & assumed gone for good. I'll be making them later tonight to take camping with us this weekend.
Glazed Peanut Butter Bars
3/4 c. butter, softened
3/4 c. creamy peanut butter
3/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. brown sugar
2 tsp. water
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 c. quick-cooking oats
3/4 c. tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/4 c. milk chocolate chips
1/2 c. butterscotch chips
1/2 c. creamy peanut butter
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter, sugars & water. Beat in eggs & vanilla. Combine flour, oats, baking soda, & salt; add gradually to creamed mixture. Spread into a greased 10x15 baking sheet. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until lightly browned. For glaze, melt chips & peanut butter in the microwave; pour over warm bars & spread evenly. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting.
