Ok, hang on while I wipe the drool off my chin and try to catch my breath. Seriously, these M&M Oreo Cookie Bars mind-bogglingly good. We're talking about Oreo bits and M&Ms mixed into the perfect blondie recipe and baked to perfection. Serve them hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and you've just won dessert for all time.
Best of all the recipe is super easy and only takes about five minutes to prepare. The hardest part will be waiting for them to cool down enough to eat!
Ingredients:
- 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
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 18 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup Red, Green and Brown M&M's

Add the Oreos and stir to combine.
Add the M&M's and stir to combine.
