Peanut Butter Oatmeal Oreo Bars

I have a taste tester who isn't really a chocolate fan.  When I make things that are heavy in the chocolate department, I always make her something different.  What can I say, I am to please.  This was made just for her - and she loved it.  Sometimes I worry that I'm handing out duds - and there have been some misses.  Some things haven't even left my house and have quickly met the trash can.  I never worry when I bring her things - she is brutally honest with me and always dives right in to what I give her upon my arrival. 

tastes like a Butterfingers

These are easy and will freeze great - just wait to add the chocolate/Oreo layer until you're ready to eat them.  A quick, tasty treat in under 30 minutes.
