I came across this recipe when I was looking for a quick bar to take to a get together. I used peanut butter m&m's and milk chocolate chips instead and they were amazing! I didn't have any left! Will use this recipe many more times I am sure!

Simple and easy to make. It's pretty good but I found it to be WAY too sweet - which is why I wouldn't make it again. If I were to make it again, I would omit the white chocolate chips. You don't really taste them and they just make the whole thing sweeter. If you find the dough too sticky, wet your hands and then press it into place.

I made these to bring in for my friends at shool and they were gone within seconds, with plenty of mm-mmm's!

Only thing, I used 2 cups of the peanutbutter filled m&m's and used a 9X9" pan so they were thicker... super moist and crumbly to perfection!! Absolutely delicious.

Only had 1 cup of M&M's on hand, so I cut up some Hershey's fun size bars and added them to the mixture. So delicious!

Always a winner with my friends! I also add extra chips and M&Ms. :D

For a while you could get bags of miniature M&Ms for baking, but I haven't seen them in the supermarket in quite a while. I baked a pan of these bars to bring to a neighborhood potluck. They went over very well.

My kids decided to make these bars for the family. Instead of using vanilla chips; we substituted a good handful of coconut flavored m&ms with plain m&ms. They were a big hit!
