Ingredients
  • 30 Original Oreo Cookies crushed into fine crumbs
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 14 ounces (1 can) sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup Heath toffee bits
  • ⅓ cup salted and roasted peanuts
  • ½ cup pretzels broken into small pieces
  • 16 Winter Oreo Cookies with Red Vanilla Filling broken into small pieces
  • 1 cup red and green M&M's
  • 1 bag Nestle Holiday Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels with Red and Green Morsels
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Line a 9x13 baking pan with non-stick aluminum foil.
  3. Mix crushed Original Oreo Cookies with melted butter.
  4. Press into and even layer in the 9x13 baking pan.
  5. Sprinkle on toffee bits, peanuts, and pretzels.
  6. Pour sweetened condensed milk over top and spread evenly.
  7. Add the pieces of red cream filled Oreos cookies, ½ cup of the red and green M&M's and ½ of the bag of Holiday morsels.
  8. Bake for 25-27 minutes until the sweetened condensed milk has caramelized. Remove from oven and sprinkle on the remaining red and green M&M's and Holiday Chocolate Morsels.
  9. Return to oven for 3 minutes.
  10. Remove pan from oven, and tap it on the counter a few times. This will help secure all the M&M's.

Recipe Notes

The M&M's tend to crack as they bake, and the red and green chocolate chips can turn a bit brown, so that's why I like to add some at the last minute. The fresh candies look really pretty on top. Be sure to press them down using a spatula or spoon.

 

You can also place a cookie sheet on the baking rack above your pan of Christmas Magic Bars while in the oven. The cookie sheet will shield the bars from getting too brown on top.

 

Allow the Christmas Magic Bars to cool completely before cutting.

 

The edges will get a bit crunchier than the inside bars.
