Ingredients You Need
Thick & Delish Valentine M&M Bars recipe
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature or softened butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cup Valentine M&Ms
Instructions How to Make Thick and Delicious Valentine M&M Bars that are Perfect for any Valentine’s Day Celebration
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper, if desired for easy removal, and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer beat the butter and sugars together until they are combined together well.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and continue beating until combined.
- Add the baking soda, salt and flour to the wet mixture and start mixing slowly, then increasing to medium speed until the cookie dough comes together.
- Add in the chocolate chips and m&m’s and distribute throughout the cookie dough with mixer or stir/fold in if you prefer that method.
- Scoop the dough out into your prepared baking pan. Using a spatula or your hands spread and press the dough evenly into the pan. If you want to add some extra m&m candies to the top, for extra color, go ahead and add them, without pressing them into the cookie dough.
- Once the dough is evenly pressed into the pan, sprinkle the M&Ms evenly over the top pressing them down into the dough. Don’t press them too hard, you don’t want them to disappear, just to stick.
- Bake at 350°anywhere from 20-35 minutes. If you want gooey, chewy bars, bake the lesser time, but also do not overbake these bars, because they will continue to bake after you take them out of the oven. Just make sure the top is set, and not wet looking when you take them out. If you want them a golden brown, go for the 30-35 minute range.
- Allow the baking dish to cool on a wire rack.
- Cut the M&M chocolate chip cookie bars, serve & enjoy!
Storing Valentine’s Day Cookie Bars
- Room Temperature: Make sure you let your bar cookies cool all the way before you put them away. Once you take them out of the pan, put them in a ziplock bag or an airtight container.
- To freeze: Wrap in foil then place the bars in an airtight container. They will last in the freezer for a couple of months.
More Variations
- You can make these thick and chewy M&M bars for any day of the week with any color of M&M’s, so you don’t have to commit to just Valentine M&M’s.
- Mom’s love the Valentine colored m&ms, so you could also make these for Mother’s Day! Especially if you have leftover m&ms!
- We used semi-sweet chocolate chips, but there is always room for white chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips or chocolate chunks!
In conclusion, these Thick & Delish Valentine M&M Bars are the perfect treat to sweeten up your Valentine’s Day. With their rich and gooey texture, combined with the colorful and festive M&M’s, these bars are simply the perfect cookie bar treat.
