Ingredients
Oatmeal Crust and Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups oatmeal quick or old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup butter melted
- 1 cups M&M chocolate candies plain (reserved for topping)
Fudge Filling:
- 1 (14 oz. can) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9x13" pan with non-stick baking spray. Set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the oatmeal, flour, brown sugar, soda and salt. Mix until combined and the brown sugar has broken apart. Pour the 3/4 c. melted butter into the mixture and mix with a fork until crumbly. Set aside a quarter of this mixture for the topping. Press the remaining oatmeal mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust. Set aside.
- In a microwave safe bowl, add the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips and 1/3 c. butter. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir. Microwave for another 30 seconds and stir until smooth. Chocolate chips should be completely melted. Pour this chocolate mixture over the top of the prepared oatmeal crust.
- Using the reserved oatmeal mixture, sprinkle this over the top of the chocolate. Sprinkle the M&M candies over the top of the oatmeal mixture.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Once done baking, let the bars cool completely (at least 1 hour) before cutting into squares.
