PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL FUDGE BARS

          1 cup softened butter          ¾ cup cocktail peanuts
          ⅓ cup peanut butter            2 cups sugar
          1-½ cups oat flour             1 cup water
          1 tsp vanilla                  

In a stand mixer combine all ingredients except sugar and water; blend well.

In a 1-½ quart saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil, stirring, and then bring to 250°.

Pour syrup slowly into the mix while stirring. Continue stirring a few minutes until thickened, well-blended, and fudgy. Spread in a buttered 7x11-inch pan and cool.

Cut into 32 (8x4) bars.
