Units
Scale
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 4 cups quick oats
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease a 9 by 13 pan.
- In a large bowl in your mixer, cream butter and sugars. Beat in corn syrup and vanilla.
- Add in the oatmeal, a little bit at a time.
- Pat oat mixture into an even layer in your greased 9 by 13 pan.
- Bake the bars at 350 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes, or until slightly browned. Let cool.
- Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter in a double boiler over medium heat. Stir chocolate and peanut butter mixture occasionally until the chocolate and peanut butter are completely melted and combined.
- When bar mixture is cooled slightly, spread the melted chocolate chips mixture evenly over the top.
- Chill. Cut into bars. Store bars in an airtight container – on the counter or the refrigerator – until serving.
Notes
O’Henry bars can be made with creamy or crunchy peanut butter. Variations can also be made with the chocolate chips. I use semi-sweet chocolate chips almost exclusively. However, you could certainly substitute milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips if you prefer.
