A love simple treats that I can make at home with little effort and a few ingredients. This M&Ms Cookie bar is one of my favourites. With only a handful of ingredients, I can throw this together whenever. And the pop of colours from the M&Ms is so fun to look at. Chewy, thick, and soft cookie bars loaded with M&Ms. Feel free to use only a single colour of M&Ms to design these bars or add in some chopped nuts or raisins. Make sure to make a bunch for everybody. These bars can be cute, personalized giveaways, too.
