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!

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!
