### Frosting
5. Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter together over hot water (double boiler method).
6. Frost cooled bars with the chocolate–peanut butter mixture.
## Editor's Notes
- **"11 X 15"** — interpreted as an 11 x 15 inch cookie sheet (jelly roll pan), a standard pan size of the era. No ambiguity.
- **Frosting quantities** — the card lists 1 pkg (6 oz) chocolate chips and 1 cup chunk style peanut butter in the ingredients list, then instructs to frost with "choc. Chips & peanut Butter." It is not entirely clear whether the frosting uses the same listed quantities or separate additional amounts. The ingredients have been split to reflect both the base and the frosting as using the same measurements listed; readers may wish to purchase two packages of chocolate chips and additional peanut butter to be safe.
- **"melted over hot water"** — refers to a double boiler or bain-marie method, common in mid-century recipes to melt chocolate gently without scorching.
- **"Veg. Shortening (do not Melt."** — the parenthetical note is a reminder to use the shortening at room temperature, creaming it into the sugar rather than liquefying it. Closing parenthesis appears to be missing on the card; transcribed as written.
- **No eggs or leavening** — this is an oat-bar style recipe with no eggs or baking powder/soda. The oatmeal-shortening-sugar base is pressed into the pan, producing a dense, cookie-bar texture. This appears intentional and complete.
