Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • 9x13 inch baking pan
  • Parchment Paper
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups salted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups peanut butter chips
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups mini M&Ms
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted salted butter. Stir until evenly coated and mixture resembles wet sand.
  • Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
  • Evenly sprinkle the old-fashioned oats over the crust. Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the oats, ensuring even coverage.
  • Scatter peanut butter chips, chocolate chips, and mini M&Ms over the top of the condensed milk and oats.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and center is set.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Lift bars out using parchment paper and slice into squares or rectangles.

Notes

  • Substitute half the graham cracker crumbs with almond flour for a healthier option.
  • Replace sweetened condensed milk with coconut milk-based homemade version for a lighter choice.
  • Use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate for richer flavor and antioxidants.
  • Swap peanut butter chips for almond butter chips to vary the nutty flavor.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
