Yum! These Butterscotch Peanut Butter Bars from Trisha Yearwood were delicious. Easy to make and perfect for sharing! I only wish I’d managed to take a picture of them. Phillip and I both enjoyed them and they were also a hit with my Junior League group. And, the oatmeal makes them totally healthy, right? Right? Here’s how they came together:
First, I creamed butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter together in my stand mixer. Then, I added an egg and some vanilla before stirring in flour, salt, baking soda, and oatmeal. The batter was very thick, much more so than your typical brownie batter, and seemed to be too small an amount for an entire 9×13 pan. But, I went with it. Next, I sprinkled butterscotch chips over the batter and then baked. While the bars were baking, I made a simple glaze with powdered sugar, milk, and some more peanut butter. The batter spread and rose, so I’m glad I stuck it out with the 9×13. If you love sweet treats, these are definitely worth a try!
