Here' the recipe, for George and Cindyloo, and anyone who's interested.

Peanut Butter Bars

1 c crunchy peanut butter
2/3 c butter or margarine, softened
1 t vanilla
2 c firmly packed light brown sugar
3 eggs
1 cup flour
1/2 t salt
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 t water
1/4 c chocolate chips
1 t shortening

1. Combine peanut butter, butter, and vanilla in large bowl. Beat with electric beater until well-blended; beat in brown sugar until light and fluffy; beat in eggs, one at a time.

2. Stir in flour and salt just until well-blended. Spread batter in a greased 13x9x**inch baking pan.

3. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 min., or until center springs back when lightly touched with fingertip. Remove from oven to wire rack, cool slightly.

4. Combined powdered sugar with water in a small bowl; stir until smooth; drizzle over still-warm cookies, swirl with spoon to make a random pattern.

5. Melt chocolate with shortening over simmering water in a double-boiler. Drizzle over white glaze for a black-and-white pattern. Cool before cutting.

Hope you enjoy!

P.S.- It doesn't say this in the recipe, but be sure not to let the water boil, because the steam will get into the chocolate. Sorry about that.
