Oatmeal Peanut Butter Bars

I love to go through my pantry and see what ingredients I have and create something.  On this day I wanted something fast and easy and with peanut butter in it.  I usually eat peanut butter one way or another almost everyday.  This time it was in a cookie bar.  This peanut butter bar is soft and chewy and as my kids would say "healthy" because there is oatmeal in it.  I'll let you decide that....but they are delicious!
