- Turn batter out into prepared pie dish, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
- Add your candies into the batter, pushing them down level with the dough, then add the remaining M&M's to the top of the batter as well.
- Bake for about 25 to 28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. If you prefer a more well-done cookie pie, bake a few minutes longer.
