Cookie Bars
Bake these Harvest M&M’S Cookie Bars up for Halloween, Thanksgiving or football parties! They are perfect for feeding a crowd and so much easier than traditional cookies. Depending on how you cut them, they can make 18 bars all the way up to 36 bars.
I like to add a generous amount of M&M’S and mini chocolate chips to the top before baking for a really festive cookie bar! I used the Harvest Mix M&M’S for this recipe, but really M&M’S will work.
