There’s just something about oatmeal bars. I think they remind me of my childhood. Growing up my mom would make O’Henry Bars and it took everything I had to stop myself from eating the entire pan.

These M&M Chocolate Oatmeal Bars are a little like O’Henry Bars. The chocolate is just inside the bar this time and there’s a little oatmeal crumble sprinkled on top along with some delicious mini M&Ms.

I like to line my baking pans with aluminum foil when I make bars because it makes cutting them so much easier. I just lift the foil out of the pan and start going to town. The bars never stick to the bottom or sides of the pan and come out pretty darn perfect.

My mouth starts to water the minute I see that delicious fudge layer. Your teeth literally just sink into these bars. Honest.

One, two, three, four – those were good – can I have one more? The best advice I can give is to make these when family and friends are coming over. Sharing helps with self-control. I’ve learned the hard way. 😉

There are exceptions however. If you’re having a tough day, just want to eat something delicious and don’t want to share, I get it. Sometimes it feels tastes good to be bad. Enjoy friends and have a great weekend!
