Rolled oat choc peanut butter slice

1/2 c butter, room temperature
1/2c sugar
1/2c brown sugar
1tsp vanilla
1 egg
2c rolled oats

Cream butter, sugar and vanilla. Add egg and mix thoroughly. Stir in rolled oats. Pour into a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes until golden.

When partially cool, ice:

1c choc chips
1/2c peanut butter

Microwave in short bursts, stir after each burst until mix is creamy. Spread over the partially cooled base and refrigerate for several hours until firm. Eat chilled.

Well, it turns out that you can't substitute butter for margarine in this. Margarine doesn't chill to a solid state like butter does, so when we sliced this, the icing came away from the base, and although apparently it tasted good, I couldn't get past how ugly it was! So we won't be making it again.
