Today’s cookie recipe is nice and festively dotted with mini green and red M&M’s. This is just one ingredient to the winning trio that makes these Holiday Oatmeal Peanut Butter Bars so tasty.
In addition to the chocolate mini M&M pieces, you have oats and peanut butter. If you use gluten free oats then these bars will be gluten free! They are moist, soft, and sure to please.
