Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 12 Graham Crackers, crushed
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar
- 9 Tablespoons Butter, melted
Topping
- 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 Oven 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 the pan for easy removal.
- Make Crust: In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared 9x13 inch pan, creating an even crust layer.
- Add Toppings: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust, spreading it to the edges. Sprinkle the quick oats, semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips, and holiday M&Ms evenly over the top.
- Bake: Bake the assembled bars in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until the edges are golden and the toppings are melted and set.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool to room temperature or serve them warm. Cut into 15 bars for serving.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to easily lift the bars out of the pan once cooled.
- Substitute peanut butter chips with butterscotch or white chocolate chips for a different flavor.
- Allow bars to cool completely for cleaner slices.
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For a nut-free version, omit peanut butter chips and replace with extra chocolate chips.
