How To Make Holiday M&M Bars

These bars are so easy to make. If you have one large microwave safe bowl, you only need one bowl!

If so, melt the butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds. It does not need to be completely melted and boiling, just really soft. Then add the brown sugar and blend together with a hand mixer. Next, beat in the eggs and vanilla and then mix in the flour and oats.

By hand, stir in the M&M candies or M&M baking pieces. Spread evenly into a lightly greased 9 x 13 dish. The mixture will be thick.

Bake for 26 – 28 minutes at 350 degrees, until brown around the edges. The middle may look at little soft and that’s ok. I typically remove them from the oven at 26 minutes but every oven is different. Cool for about 15 minutes before cutting. Store in airtight container and refrigerate or freeze.

Hope you enjoy!
