M&M Bars

M&M’s – there’s just something about those bright colored chocolate filled candies that get me every time.  I mean, what’s not to love about an M&M? Especially when they are mini and baked into these yummy squares. With added  peanut butter (yes, again) and oatmeal  they also have some redeeming nutritional qualities.  Now, I’m not pretending these are in any way healthy but they are a yummy treat – I don’t recommend eating them as a regular breakfast food – but they are a pretty good snack to bring when hiking, playing in the park, at the beach or whatever the week-end might hold for you.

M&M bars

I made these for a recent family camping trip and they were amazing. They kept very well in a ziplock bag and stayed fresh for the whole week-end – also relatively mess free  – the M&M’s provided all the chocolate flavor but no melty mess of chocolate chips – perfect for warmer weather. These M&M bars are a great choice to make for an outdoor get together with family and friends on a long week-end, and are sure to please kids and adults alike!
