    Double Chocolate Cookie Bars with M&M's are the perfect make ahead Christmas treat and are customizable for potlucks, bake sales, and other holidays!

    baked Double Chocolate Cookie Bars slice in hand with red and green m&m's on top. These heavenly chocolate cookie bars are one of our(my) new favorite easy Christmas treats. I was able to whip them up in a few minutes and they take 25-30 minutes to bake, which is about the same as a batch of cookies but wayyy less effort. Huge plus when you need to make a quick party treat! 

    Pro tips for the best chocolate cookie bars:

    • Cream the butter and sugar really well. It makes for fluffier, chewier bars.
    • Don't skip out on the salt! Salt makes the other flavors POP. 
    • Use high quality butter, dutch processed cocoa powder, vanilla, and white chocolate chips. It really makes a difference!
    • Add mint extract to the icing for a little extra loveliness. Ya welcome. Process Shots of double chocolate cookie bars. Raw dough being spread into 9x13 inch pan, raw dough with m&m's sprinkled on top, baked bars, iced and sliced bars.

    Process shots 1-4. 

    1. The dough is still pretty soft and sticky. It's not as firm as normal cookie dough, and that's okay. Soft dough means soft bars!
    2. I sprinkle extra M&M's on top so they look fabulous out of the oven. 
    3. Fabulous out of the oven.
    4. Icing on the bars is more of a mental thing for me. I like it. If it doesn't rock your socks, skip it!

    Iced and sliced square of double chocolate cookie bar square with red and green m&m's around it on a marble background.  The great thing about this recipe is how customizable it is. Valentines M&M's. St. Patricks Day green M&M's. Caramel filled M&M's. Peanut Butter M&M's. The possibilities are endless! And that is why it is my favorite. I'm toying with the idea of making  a peanut butter version of these. or maybe a snickerdoodle caramel version. 😱 If you have inspiration for me, leave it in the comments below .👇🏻 👇🏻

    If you're in need of Christmas morning breakfast ideas, I will leave Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls here just for you. They're worth it.
