Retro School Cafeteria Peanut Butter Bars Recipes
RETRO SCHOOL CAFETERIA PEANUT BUTTER BARS
It's taken me a while to find this recipe. There are many versions of "the peanut butter bar" but, I believe this recipe comes the closest to what I remember eating in the 1960's (via our elementary school lunchroom). Boy those ladies could really cook back then!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 15x10-inch baking pan.
- Cream white sugar, brown sugar, butter, and eggs together in a mixing bowl. Mix in peanut butter and vanilla extract. Add flour and blend well. Add oats, baking soda, and salt and mix to combine. Spread into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool or chill in the refrigerator, about 30 minutes.
- While bars cool, blend powdered sugar, butter, milk, and peanut butter together in a bowl, adding more milk to give frosting the desired consistency. Frost cooled bars and cut into 20 pieces.

THE REAL CAFETERIA PEANUT BUTTER BARS
These are exactly like the ones I grew up with in the 80's! You can half the recipe and use a 9x13; I like to make a bunch and either freeze them or gobble them. (I have five kids...they usually get gobbled! ;) Sometimes I leave off the chocolate chip layer, put the PB frosting directly on top of the bars, and smother with Texas sheet cake icing instead. YUM!

CAFETERIA PEANUT BUTTER BARS
These were the peanut butter bars that our school cafeteria used to sell for 25 cents a bar. I am sure they had to make multiple pans a day, these were so good! Very easy to make and really tasty! No baking required. Prep time does not include refrigeration time.

Steps:
- 1. Mix the sifted powdered sugar, brown sugar and melted butter together well. Fold in the creamy peanut butter until blended.
- 2. Spread the peanut butter mixture into a buttered pan; 9x13 for thicker bars, cookie sheet for thinner bars.
- 3. Melt the chocolate chips and 1/2 cup butter and pour over the peanut butter mixture. Spread around to make it even.
- 4. Refrigerate for 1 hour, until chocolate has solidified most of the way, and cut into bars with an unserrated knife.
- 5. Return to the refrigerator over night until set. (I return to the freezer for faster set time).
