Recipe Box: Peanut Butter Fingers

These ooey, gooey treats were another recipe from my grandma’s recipe box.  They have my mom’s name written on them….from 1977.:)  I don’t think I ever remember anyone making these, but they are delicious.  They’re perfect for a chocolate peanut butter fix.  Enjoy!

1/4 tsp salt
1 cup quick cooking oats

Topping
1- 6oz. pkg. semi-sweet chocolate bits or chips
