Equipment

Ingredients

2 sticks of butter softened
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups of rolled oats
1 cup grape jelly

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13 x 9 baking pan with foil, leaving a little extra over the edge of the dish. Grease foil with butter.
In a mixer, beat butter, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Beat in egg. Mix in peanut butter. Slowly add in flour and baking soda, mix until incorporated. Fold in oats.
Set aside 1/2 cup of the dough, and press the rest of it into the bottom of your prepared pan.
Spread jelly over the top of the dough.
Pinch off pieces of reserved dough and drop them on top of the jelly.
Bake for approximately 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool. Grab edges of the foil and pull the bars out of the pan for easy cutting. Cut into squares.
