One of our favorite bars are these Peanut Butter M&M bars. When we made these last week two of the children remarked that they were their favorite bars and why don’t we make then more often? Yes, I would enjoy eating them every week too but I think they are quite rich so we only make them occasionally for a treat.

Peanut Butter M&M Bars

1 1/2 cup oatmeal                           1 can sweetened condensed milk

1 1/2 cups flour                                1/2 cup peanut butter

1 cup brown sugar                           1 cup M&M

1/2 tsp salt                                         1/2 cup peanuts

1/2 cup peanuts

1 1/4 cups softened margarine

Mix oatmeal, flour, brown sugar, salt, and peanuts with margarine. Press into a 9″x13″ pan, reserving 1 cup for topping.  Bake crust for 12 minutes at 350.  Meanwhile mix sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter. Spread over crust and top with M&M’s and 1/2 cup peanuts. Drop remaining crumbs over top. Bake 20 minutes more.
