4. Stir in flour and oats.
5. Spread it in a greased 9″ x 13″ baking pan. *NOTE: Peter’s mom actually prefers to use a 9″ x 11″ greased cookie sheet, but that size pan may be hard to find.
6. Bake for 17-20 minutes being careful to not overbake.

9. Put the bars in the refrigerator or freezer until the chocolate is set.
10. Take the bars out of the refrigerator or freezer and top with the peanut butter frosting.
