Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups brown sugar packed
  • 0.5 lb butter melted
  • cups flour all-purpose
  • 1.3 cups peanut butter 
  • 0.7 cup roasted peanuts unsalted chopped
  • cups oats 
  • 0.5 cup semi chocolate chips 
  • 0.7 cup coconut dried shredded unsweetened

Equipment

  • bowl
  • oven
  • baking pan
  • ziploc bags
  • microwave
  • kitchen scissors

Directions

  1. In a bowl, mix butter and brown sugar until smooth. Stir in flour, oats, peanuts, and coconut until well blended.
  2. Press dough evenly into a buttered and floured 10- by 15-inch baking pan. For chewy bars, bake in a 350 oven until edges are lightly browned, about 20 minutes; for crisp bars, bake until slightly darker brown, about 5 minutes longer.
  3. Spread with peanut butter.
  4. Let cool about 15 minutes.
  5. Seal chocolate chips in a heavy 1-quart zip-lock plastic bag.
  6. Heat in a microwave oven at 30% power until chips are soft, about 2 minutes. Squeeze chocolate to one corner of bag, then use scissors to snip a very small hole in the corner. Squeeze chocolate in thin lines over peanut butter. Chill until the chocolate is firm, about 20 minutes.
  7. Cut into 20 bars.
