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 the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by spraying it with nonstick spray and pressing a piece of parchment paper into the pan.
- Make the Crust: In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared 9x13 pan to form the crust layer.
- Add the Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust, spreading it out fully to the edges of the pan.
- Top with Mix-ins: Sprinkle the quick oats, semi sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips, and holiday M&Ms evenly over the sweetened condensed milk layer.
- Bake the Bars: Place the pan into the oven and bake for 25 minutes until the edges are golden and the topping is set.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bars from the oven and let them cool to room temperature or serve warm as desired. Cut into 15 bars before serving.
Notes
- Press the crust mixture firmly into the pan for a sturdy base.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
- The white chocolate chips can be adjusted to 1/4 cup if a lighter chocolate flavor is preferred.
- Serve bars warm for gooey texture or at room temperature for firmer slices.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Substitute peanut butter chips with butterscotch chips for a different flavor twist.
