With all of the candy around this time of year (plus my love for M&Ms), this was a perfect treat to make. Bar cookies are so fast, which is always a plus. What's your favorite Halloween candy?

oooooh yummy! I bought some peanut M&Ms when I was in the US last month, as I don't think you can get them in the UK (?) and have just been eating them straight from the packet as they are so nice! But I really think I'm going to have to make this recipe!
ReplyDeleteThese sounded delicious, but I think maybe the pan size is wrong. Could it be? Mine wouldn't even fit in a 9x9. What did fit was just a gooey mess at 20 minutes bake time.
