Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 18 - oreo cookies, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup m & m's

How To Make loaded m & m bars

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8x8 baking pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a large microwave safe bowl melt the butter, about one minute on high.
  • Step 3
    Wait momentarily before adding the egg (you don't want to scramble it). Add the egg, brown sugar and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
  • Step 4
    Add the flour and stir just until combined, don't overmix.
  • Step 5
    Stir in the Oreos and M & M's.
  • Step 6
    Turn batter out into prepared pan, smoothing batter lightly with a spatula.
  • Step 7
    Bake about 20-22 minutes, or until done, based on add-ins used. The top should be set and the edges should be slightly firm. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Allow bars to cool at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Bars will keep airtight at room temperature for up to one week.
