Peanut Butter Fingers

This recipe is from Sherrie - It is one of my wife's family favorites. 
They practically lived on them as kids :)

CRUST:
1 stick butter (room temp)
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. Brown sugar--cream all this together well with mixer.


Add: 1 egg
1/2 t. baking soda
1/4 t. salt
vanilla
1 c. flour
1 c. oatmeal
Mixture will be stiff. Spread in 9x13 pan. bake 20 min. @ 350. It should be nice and brown, but don't over bake or they get hard.
CHOCOLATE LAYER:
Immediately sprinkle with 1 1/2 c. choc. chips and let melt. Spread like frosting to the edges of the pan. Let cool.  It is OK to snitch a few chocolate chips as the crust is baking.

FROSTING:
1/4c. peanut butter
1/2 c. powdered sugar
2-4 T. milk
Note: We like to double the peanut butter frosting for an extra thick layer.
Mix well and spread over the top of the melted chips.
 Lick frosting off of knife.
 Enjoy!
