Peanut butter and chocolate---ahhhh!
3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
GLAZE:
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup confectioners' sugar
4-6 tablespoons milk
1 cup chopped peanuts
  In a large bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla.
Combine the flour, oats, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Pour into a greased 15"x10"x1" baking pan.
Bake at 325 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Immediately sprinkle with chocolate ships. Allow chips to soften for a few minutes, then spread over bars.
For glaze, in a small bowl, beat peanut butter and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Add enough milk to achieve spreading consistency. Carefully spread over warm bars; sprinkle with peanuts. Cool before cutting into bars.
Reduced-fat or generic brands of peanut butter are not recommended for this recipe.
