Oats, peanut butter and M&M's give this bar mass appeal. When I have free time, I often bake a pan and pop it in the freezer to take a future potluck or bake dale. Ingredients:
2 cups quick-cooking oats |
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup butter, melted |
1 package (12.6 ounces) m&m's® brand peanut candies |
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk |
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Add butter; mix until crumbly. Set aside 1 cup. Press the remaining crumb mixture into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 9-11 minutes or until edges are lightly browned (bars will puff up slightly).
2. Meanwhile, set aside 1 cup M&M's; chop remaining M&M's. In a bowl, combine the milk, peanut butter and vanilla; mix well. Stir in chopped M&M's. Pour over crust; carefully spread evenly. Sprinkle with reserved M&M's; gently press into peanut butter mixture. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Bake 18-22 minutes longer or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack before cutting. Yield: 3 dozen.
