"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups peanut butter (divided)
2 cups oatmeal (not quick)
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
Frosting:
1/2 cup margarine or butter, softened
1/4 cup milk
1-2 teaspoons vanilla (depending on your taste)
3 tablespoons cocoa
2-3 cups of powdered sugar
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, cream the sugar, brown sugar, and butter together. Add the vanilla, eggs, and 1 cup peanut butter and stir to combine.
Add the remaining ingredients and mix together.
Spread dough on a greased jelly roll pan (18x13x1"). Bake for 15 minutes (until golden brown).
While hot spread the other 1 1/2 cups peanut butter on top - it helps to drop spoonfuls all over the top of the bars, then spread after the peanut butter has started to melt.
Let cool until the peanut butter has become solid again (I usually throw them in the fridge so they set up faster and so I can eat them sooner!).
While cooling, mix together frosting ingredients with a hand mixer and then spread on top of bars.
