Peanut Jelly Bars

• 3/4 cup butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
• 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
• 10 ounces (about 1 1/4 cups) jelly or jam

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. In another bowl, combine flour, salt, and soda; add to the creamed mixture, stirring until well blended. Stir in rolled oats and chopped peanuts. Press half of the crumb mixture into the bottom of a buttered 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Spread with jelly; sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture. Bake at 400° for 25 minutes. Cool and cut into bars.
