Categories: Bars

Ingredients

• 2 c. uncooked oats
• 1 1/2 c. flour
• 1 c. firmly packed brown sugar
• 1 c. chopped pecans
• 1 t. baking soda
• 1/4 t. salt
• 1 c. butter, melted
• 1 c. Dark Chocolate M&M’s
• 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk

Directions

1. Combine first 6 ingredients, stirring well. Add butter, and stir or beat at low speed with an electric mixer until mixture is crumbly. Reserve 1 1/2 c. crumb mixture; press remaining crumb mixture into a 15×10-inch jellyroll pan lined with parchment. (Mixture will be thin in pan.)

2. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce oven temperature to 350°.

3. Place M&M’s in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave at High for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, stirring after 30 seconds.

4. Press M&M’s with back of a spoon to mash them. (The candies will almost be melted with pieces of color coating still visible.) Stir in condensed milk. Spread mixture evenly over crust in pan, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides.

5. Sprinkle reserved 1 1/2 c. crumb mixture over chocolate mixture; press lightly.

6. Bake at 350° for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden; cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars.
