Simply top these oatmeal monster cookie bars with melted chocolate, peanut butter, and butterscotch and let cool for a few hours to harden.

Ingredients

1 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup melted butter
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butterscotch chips
1/3 cup peanut butter

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2 Combine brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, 1/4 cup peanut butter, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Add oats gradually. Press bar mixture into the prepared pan.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool for 4 minutes.
4 Melt chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and 1/3 cup peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting until blended, 1 to 3 minutes. Spread over warm bars. Let cool before cutting, 2 to 3 hours.
