Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 20 squares

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups quick cooking oats
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup 2 sticks butter, melted
  • 1 can 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup Christmas mini m&m's

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9x13 baking dish or line with parchment paper.
  • In large bowl, mix together oats, flour, brown sugar, pecans, salt, and melted butter. Stir together until combined and crumbly. Remove 1 cup and reserve for later. Press remaining into baking pan.
  • In saucepan over medium heat, stir the condensed milk, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth and melted. Pour over the crust in pan. Sprinkle with the reserved mix and the m&m's. Press down lightly.

  • Let cool for 1-2 hours before cutting. Store leftovers covered at room temperature.
