Here is an old recipe you can put together in a very short time and it feeds a crowd. It's easy to throw together Sunday afternoon when you've forgotten you're supposed to take finger food for snacks after singing at the nursing home.
4 cups oatmeal I always use old fashioned oats. Your choice, of course, if you'd rather use minute oatmeal.
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
Don't melt the butter, just cut it into the oats and sugar with a pastry cutter or your fingers. Press into a greased jelly roll pan and bake at 350° for 10 minutes.
Melt 1 cup chocolate chips and one cup peanut butter: either in a double boiler over hot water or in a glass microwave bowl, stir mixture as it melts. Spread over the crust and cut into bars when everything is cooled.
I usually use more chocolate chips. One cup is pretty skimpy to cover that gigantic pan of oatmeal.
I'm sorry to say I don't know who gave us this recipe. I remember making it at home before I got married so that's many long years ago. Ellis and I will celebrate 40 years of married life in September.
