M&M Chocolate Fudge Oatmeal Bars are a delicious dessert combining oatmeal crumble and a rich milk chocolate fudge layer topped with mini M&M’s, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
- 1½ cups quick oats
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt (kosher or sea salt)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 bag (12 oz) milk chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 cup mini M&M’s
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later on. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the softened butter, quick oats, all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, and salt. Use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer with the paddle attachment to beat until well combined and it looks like chunky crumbles.
- Set aside a heaping 1 cup of the oatmeal mixture for later.
- Press the remaining oatmeal mixture into the prepared pan and form an even layer.
- In a saucepan, over medium heat, add the condensed milk, milk chocolate chips, and butter. Stir and cook until it’s completely melted and smooth.
- Pour the milk chocolate fudge over the oatmeal layer inside the pan and spread it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of oatmeal mixture over the fudge, trying to cover it as much as possible.
- Sprinkle the mini M&M’s over top and gently press them down.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and set it on a cooling rack. Let the bars cool completely for 1-2 hours at room temperature before cutting and serving.
Notes
- The bars need time to set up, so it’s important to let them cool completely before slicing.
- Using parchment paper helps with easy removal from the baking pan.
