These are so good! Thick and chewy cookie bars that are literally made with M & M’s. Or if you love nuts as I do, this can be made with nuts, too! Either way, these are delicious!
Christmas is fast approaching and I am almost at the end of my long list for the Holidays. I plan on remaking these bars with just red and green, maybe a little yellow M & M’s. My kids love Christmas and who doesn’t? The reason why I am only using Christmas tone so they will feel the spirit of Christmas despite all the things happening around the globe.
These bars are the perfect treat for every occasion. Just pick the right M & M’s colour to decorate accordingly.
