Ingredients

6 cups old fashioned oats
1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla
2/3 cup butter melted
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup brown sugar packed
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375℉. Grease a 15" jelly roll pan. Mix all ingredients except chocolate chips well.
6 cups old fashioned oats, 1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla, 2/3 cup butter, 1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup light corn syrup
Press flat into greased pan. Bake for 7 minutes.
Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over top. Bake additional 5 - 7 minutes until chocolate melts. Use butter knife to spread chocolate evenly over the top.
1 cup mini chocolate chips
Cut into squares while warm.

Notes

6 cups of oats is roughly equal to a small canister of oats.
I like mini chocolate chips because they melt more quickly and spread more easily, but regular sized chips will also work well.
