Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup M&M’s (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Make the Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until smooth. Add in the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

3. Press into the Pan
Spread half of the dough mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, pressing it down firmly to create an even layer.

4. Add the Fillings
Sprinkle the mini marshmallows and M&M’s evenly over the crust. Crumble the remaining dough mixture on top, covering the marshmallows and M&M’s as much as possible. If desired, press a few extra M&M’s on top for decoration.

5. Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and the marshmallows are melted.

6. Cool and Cut
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. For best results, refrigerate for a bit to help them set.
