Want to enjoy food in my house and not have any kids nearby to bother you? Tell them it's mint and chocolate. Done and done... but this recipe doesn't have any mint... just some chocolate. We decided to do a little baking for Mother's Day to bring to the grandparents and these were on the agenda. Who doesn't love Oreos and M&Ms? Oh... my kids... Well Ok, they will eat M&Ms... but for the most part they steered clear of these bars. I had to get all but 4 of these out of my house so I wouldn't eat the entire pan because, I might have. They are like chocolate packed blondies, so good.
Loaded M&M's Oreo Cookie Bars
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
1 large egg
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
18 Oreo Cookies, coarsely chopped
about 1/2 cup M&M’s
Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
In a large, microwave-safe bowl melt the butter, about 1 minute on high power.
Wait momentarily before adding the egg so you don’t scramble it. Add the egg, brown sugar, vanilla, and whisk until smooth.
Add the flour and stir until just combined, don’t overmix.
Stir in the Oreos.
Turn batter out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
Evenly sprinkle the M&M's over the top, lightly pressing them down with your finger or a spatula.
Bake for about 20 to 22 minutes, or until done based on add-ins used. Top should be set and edges slightly firm. A toothpick inserted in the center (if you can find a bare patch to test) should come out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter.
Allow bars to cool in pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
