Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 12 Graham Crackers, crushed
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar
- 9 Tablespoons Butter, melted
Toppings
- 1 1/2 Cups Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 3/4 Cup Quick Oats
- 1 1/3 Cups Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 3/4 Cup Peanut Butter Chips
- 1/3 Cup White Chocolate Chips
- 1 Cup Holiday M&Ms
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with nonstick spray and press a piece of parchment paper into it to ensure easy removal.
- Make the Crust: In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared 9x13 pan to form an even crust layer.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the graham cracker crust. Use a spatula to spread it gently to the edges, ensuring full coverage.
- Sprinkle Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the quick oats, semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips, and holiday M&Ms over the top of the sweetened condensed milk layer.
- Bake the Bars: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the top is set.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Serve warm for a gooey texture or at room temperature for firmer bars. Cut into 15 bars and enjoy!
Notes
- For easier slicing, chill the bars for at least 30 minutes before cutting.
- You can substitute holiday M&Ms with any festive candy or nuts for a different texture.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner edges when cutting.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
- To make the crust gluten-free, use gluten-free graham crackers.
