Recipe:M&M Oatmeal Bars



Another recipe from my sister in law.  These are A.MAZ.ING!!!  Not hard to make..but I did mess them up the first time! :)

1 c. margarine - softened
2 c. quick oats
1 1/2 c. flour
1 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
pinch of salt
1 c. chopped nuts [I never put these in!]

Mix well, place 1 1/2 c. aside. Press remaining crust in an 11x15 greased
jellyroll pan (cookie sheet).  Bake at 375* for 10 minutes. Remove from
oven and set aside.

Topping:
2 tbsp. margarine
1 c. chocolate chips
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 to 1 c. M&M's

Melt margarine and chips over very low heat, stirring constantly.  Stir in
sweetened condensed milk and mix together well.  Spread this mixture over
the crust when that was just taken out of the oven.  Top with reserved
"crust" mixture and m&M's.  Return to oven for 6 to 8 minutes. Do not
overbake.
