Ingredients

Scale

Base and Topping

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups quick-cooking rolled oats
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (divided)
  • 1 cup plain M&M’s

Chocolate Layer

  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (11.5-ounce) bag milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly and set it aside to ensure your bars don’t stick.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 1½ cups flour, 1½ cups oats, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup softened butter. Mix with a spoon until fully incorporated into a crumbly dough. Reserve about 1 cup of this mixture for later use.
  3. Form Base Layer: Press the remaining mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a sturdy crust for the bars.
  4. Prepare Chocolate Topping: In a medium-sized pot over medium-low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, milk chocolate chips, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir constantly until the chocolate chips have fully melted and the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  5. Assemble Bars: Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the oat crust layer in the baking dish. Then sprinkle the reserved oat mixture on top of the chocolate layer to add a crunchy texture.
  6. Add M&M’s and Bake: Sprinkle 1 cup of plain M&M’s evenly over the top. Bake the bars in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden and set.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely in the baking dish before cutting into 15 servings. This helps the bars set for easier slicing and better texture.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is softened at room temperature to blend easily with dry ingredients.
  • Use quick-cooking oats for the best texture and quicker mixing.
  • Make sure to stir constantly when melting chocolate to prevent burning.
  • Allow bars to cool completely for clean slices and firm texture.
  • You can substitute plain M&M’s with peanut or other flavored M&M’s for variety.
