These are yummy! The original recipe called for red and green Christmas M&Ms, but I see no reason to relegate this delicious treat to just the holidays.

SERVES 24 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups oatmeal
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup coconut
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup melted butter
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated milk)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup M&M'
1 cup chocolate chips

Directions

1
Combine oatmeal, brown sugar, flour, coconut, baking soda, and salt; add melted butter and stir until moist (the mixture will be crumbly). Reserve 1 1/2 cups and press remaining crumbs into a greased 13X9-inch baking pan (I line the pan with non-stick foil.).
2
Bake 12 minutes at 375°F.
3
Combine milk and peanut butter; carefully spread over baked crust. Sprinkle on M&M's and chocolate chips. Sprinkle reserved crumbs over chocolate pieces and lightly press crumbs down.
4
Bake 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool completely before cutting.

Oh my!.. can you guys see my extra butt.. rich indeed, but oh so wonderful!! Gayla, this is an above 5 star recipe..not only because it tastes so good, but so easy to make. Thank you very, very much!! Tips for others: be gentle when spreading the peanut-butter mix (so the base doesn't lift off), and you will definitely love making 'bar' cookies, if you FOIL the pan. (no oil/grease, no sticking, and you don't even have to wash the pan)

I have made these so many times. Even sent them to my daughter in college and she called saying 'I was the best mom ever'! A hint: I melted the peanut butter and milk in the microwave for 2 minutes on high so that I could pour it over the crust--much easier! ENJOYED--thanks for sharing this recipe! Cherie
