Monster Cookie Bars

Update 9/7/14: I made these and they were really good! I did end up baking them for 20 minutes, because they just didn't look done after 15. I think you could easily cut back to 1 cup m&m's and 1 cup chocolate chips because there were so many that they just didn't all mix into the batter! I also think these would be good with just chocolate chips if you didn't have any m&m's...Had these at Lanee's shower and Lisa told me she got the recipe off the internet. So I went searching and here is what I found from susanmay on Grouprecipe.com. Use of stand mixer recommended. Update 12/15: don't stir in the chocolate chips and M&Ms. Press the batter in the pan then press the chips and M&Ms onto the top.
