This past Saturday I had the opportunity to watch Young
Women’s Conference with the beautiful Young Women in our ward. It was indeed a great blessing to listen to
our Young Women leaders as well as from Elder Uchtdorf. The talks focused on this year’s theme for
our youth, “Stand Ye In Holy Places.” As
a Young Women Presidency we decided to watch the conference at one of our leaders’
home where we could enjoy dinner and dessert, then watch the conference together. We decided on tacos which everyone
loved. I made the dessert, Peanut Butter
Fingers. Peanut Butter Fingers is one of
my families’ favorites and I have always received lots of positive comments
about them. I did share the recipe at
one time at a job I had years ago when we were putting together a work
cookbook. Unfortunately the recipe I gave them got butchered by being combined
with someone else’s recipe that was similar.
It took the best part of my recipe out in lieu of an easier option. Well, after sharing my Peanut Butter Fingers
with the Young Women I have had several requests for my recipe, so I am going
to share it here where I know that no one can change it. I wish I took a picture to add to this, but I
didn’t think about it till after it was all eaten. I had a few pieces left thinking I could take
a picture of that, but of course, someone has gobbled that up.
Peanut Butter Fingers
This makes a full cookie sheet worth.
1 cup butter 1
cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar 2
eggs
2/3 cup peanut butter 2
tsp. vanilla
½ tsp. salt 1
tsp. baking soda
2 cups flour 2
cups rolled oats
Mix together
butter and sugars. Add vanilla, eggs and
peanut butter and mix well. Add salt,
baking soda, flour and oats. After all
is mixed well press on cookie sheet. (I
use my hands to press on cookie sheet).
Bake at 370 for 10-15 minutes or until top is light brown. Remove from oven. While still hot sprinkle chocolate chips on
top. Let sit so the chocolate can
melt. When chocolate is melted use a
spatula to spread chocolate all over the top.
Frosting: 1 cup powdered
sugar 2-4
Tbs. milk 2 Tbs.
peanut butter.
Mix in a ball with whisk until well
blended. The frosting should be a little
runny. Drizzle frosting on top of
Peanut butter fingers and spread. Let
cool and then cut into bars and enjoy.
