Peanut Butter Oat Cookie Bars w/ Snickers

Adapted from Tried & True Recipes from the Ladies of the Innsbrook Ward

It has been so long without a post!  My dear sister added a new little bebe to her family and is busy learning how to juggle two kiddos...meanwhile I moved to a new state!  My hubby is starting his medical residency and we have been busy, busy, busy getting settled in here.  Plus, we don't have the Internet hooked up yet.  {I am sitting outside a Starbucks right now taking advantage of the free wifi.}  Anyway, this little dessert is so yummy and so addictive.  The PB frosting is my favorite and the Snickers on top add just a little bit of something extra special to the recipe.  Enjoy!
