If you like Oreos and M & M's, these are the bars for you. Is there anyone who doesn’t like Oreos and M & M's? I hope not. These bars came to be because I was preparing to move and in an effort to clean out my pantry, I started grabbing things that looked like they’d work together.

How To Make loaded m&m oreo cookie bars

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 9-by-13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a large, microwave-safe bowl melt the butter, about 1 minute on high power.
  • Step 3
    Wait momentarily before adding the egg so you don't scramble it. Add the egg, brown sugar, vanilla, and whisk until smooth.
  • Step 4
    Add the flour and stir until just combined, don't over-mix.
  • Step 5
    Stir in the Oreo's
  • Step 6
    Turn batter out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
  • Step 7
    Evenly sprinkle the M&Ms over the top, lightly pressing them down with your finger or a spatula.
  • Step 8
    Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until done based on add-ins used.
  • Step 9
    Top should be set and edges slightly firm.
  • Step 10
    A toothpick inserted in the center (if you can find a bare patch to test) should come out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter.
  • Step 11
    Allow bars to cool in pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Step 12
    Bars will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
