PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL S’MORES BARS
Today August 10th 2021 is National S’mores day and what better way to celebrate than with one of my favorite recipes! Growing up in Michigan s’mores were an essential part of the summertime. Over the years I have fallen in love with different ways to make s’mores and still get the original taste. I have always loved adding chocolate and peanut butter together and when deciding how to update this recipe i’ve had for years I knew peanut butter was the perfect fit. It adds something special to the traditional s’mores taste.

- Old fashioned Oats
- Flour
- Brown sugar
- Baking soda
- Unsalted Butter
- Vanilla Extract

Items I used to make:
- 8×8 Baking Pan
- Oven Mitts
- KitchenAid Mixer or Hand Mixer

- Silicone Spatula
- Parchment Paper
- Peanut Butter Chips (my favorite kind to keep in the pantry)
