Crumb Topped Chocolate-Peanutbutter Bars

The plate says it all.  Life is short.  Buy the shoes.  That is so true, because you never know when you will move to a foreign country and shoes will not be as plentiful as they once were.  And if you move to Asia, the majority of the population has small feet, and someone with a size 8.5 foot (like me) cannot find shoes to fit.  Now, many of you know how much I love shoes, well let me just say Zappos and 6pm have been staying busy because of me.  OH, this is a cookie blog isn’t it?  Sorry, back to business…..

I got this recipe from one of my favorite websites, CookieMadness.  This woman is amazing, she bakes every single day!  I imagined she was as large as a house, which kept me going, until one day she posted a photo of herself.  My image was shot, she is a very slim, nice looking woman, not the cookie monster I have envisioned.  Slim, and bakes great cookies - her husband must be in heaven.


7 oz semi-sweet chocolate
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour, sifted or fluffed up and measured lightly
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. quick-cooking rolled oats

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13×9 inch pan with foil and spray foil with cooking spray.

Melt chocolate in a bowl set over, but not touching, a saucepan of simmering water. Alternatively, you may use the microwave.
Cream butter, brown sugar and peanut butter in a mixing bowl. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt, and add to creamed mixture. Stir just until well mixed then stir in the oats
Spread about three quarters of the dough into the prepared pan. Spread with the melted chocolate over the dough. Scoop up bits of remaining peanut butter dough and drop them over the melted chocolate so that you have speckled looking bars.
Bake for 25 minutes. Cool completely and cut into bars. Makes about 2 dozen bars.

I am going to try making the tuna tonight, I'll let you know how it turns out. The bars look pretty good too...I might have to try them sometime. I'm counting down the days, see you soon.

Howdy! We're back in TX - I'll start posting again soon and have some great photos from our trip. I'm so glad that you like Cookie Madness. Anna is a friend of my good friend, Jennifer. They were both in the Pillsbury Bake-Off together two years ago. My friend Jennifer was a finalist with her "Roasted Tomato and Corn Chowder with Cilantro Pesto" and Anna was actually the winner. They both got trips for their whole family to Disney for the finals and Anna walked away with a cool $1 million. She's pretty inspirational, for sure. The recipe that she made was SO funny; she used boxed Pillsbury waffles and syrup packets to make a chicken and stuffing (made of the waffles) with a maple glaze (made from the syrup).

    Proud Army wife and mother to 4 wonderful children.  I love to cook, travel, work out and scrapbook life’s adventures when I find the time.  We just got orders & are heading back to the states in March 2010.  I'm bummed that our time has been cut short, but proud of Hubby for the reason why.
