  3 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats, uncooked
  2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

  Preheat oven to 375 F.  Line a 13 x 9 in baking pan with aluminum foil.  Grease the foil.  Combine the brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup in a saucepan.  Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the butter melts.  Remove from the heat.  Stir in 1/4 cup peanut butter and the vanilla until smooth.  Set aside.  Place the oats in a large mixing bowl.  Stir in the brown sugar mixture.  Press the oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.  Bake for 15-18 minutes.  Melt the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips together over low heat.  Stir in the remaining 3/4 cup peanut butter until smooth.  Set aside.  Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the peanuts over the crust.  Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture on top.  Spread evenly.  Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup peanuts.  Cool until firm.  Cut into squares.  Yield: about 5 dozen
