1 cup butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/4 cups quick cooking oatmeal (not instant)
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup peanut butter (use creamy)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 King size Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup candy bars, roughly chopped
1 cup milk chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13-inch pan with tin foil and spray with Pam. In a medium mixing bowl, mix the melted butter, sugar, soda, oatmeal, flour & salt until it becomes a crumbly texture and set aside a little more than 1 cups worth of the crust mixture. Press the remaining crust into your prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes. While the crust is cooking, in a small bowl, stir the peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk together. Once the crust has baked, pour and spread peanut butter filling over the baked crust in an even layer. Be careful not to pull up the warm crust while spreading your mixture. Evenly sprinkle the reserved crumbs on top of the peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk mix. Bake at 350°F for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove from oven and sprinkle the chopped candy bars and chocolate chips on top. Return to the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes or until topping is light golden brown and the chocolate chips and bars are melting. Allow to cool before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
