Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, softened, 1 stick (salted or unsalted is fine)
• 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup mini m&m’s
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

Line an 8×8 inch pan or dish with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, mix together the softened butter and brown sugar until fluffy for about 2-3 minutes. Next, add your vanilla until combined with the sugar mixture. Alternate your flour and sweetened condensed milk until combined.

Using a spatula, mix in chocolate chips and M&Ms.

Press the cookie dough into the bottom of a parchment paper lined 8×8 pan with a spatula or your hands.

Cover your bars with foil and refrigerate for 3 hours or until firm. If you’re in a hurry you can use the freezer. Next, flip the cookie dough over into the pan, taking it off of the parchment paper.

Once cookie dough has set up and hardened, you’re ready to make your topping. Combine the peanut butter and ½ cup chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Pour and spread over the top of the chilled dough and chill again at least for 1 hour until firm in the refrigerator or freezer.

Next, cut into pieces and enjoy!
