Oreo Peanut Butter Bars

We had an Oreo Cookie Party to celebrate the 101st birthday of Oreo and everyone signed up to bring various Oreo desserts.  I wanted something different from Dirt Cake and also something that didn't have to be refrigerated, so I found this recipe online.     I made a double batch and my coworkers had gobbled it up with 24 hours, so it must have been good.
