Caramel M&M Cookie Bars are a delicious brown sugar-buttery cookie base mixed with chocolate and caramel. These bars have the wonderful taste of caramel bars made easier, thanks to the addition of M&M’S® Caramel candies. 

M&M’S® Caramel is not your traditional caramel. It has a creamy caramel center covered in milk chocolate and enclosed in a candy shell, combining everything delicious about M&M’S® and caramels into one. Yum!

And the good news…caramel will be a permanent addition to the M&M’S® line, not just a limited-edition flavor. Which is a good thing, because that means this Caramel M&M Cookie Bars recipe is a permanent addition to our recipe box as well! Simply head to Walmart to pick up an M&M’S® Caramel Sharing Size Pouch (9.6oz) and whip up this delicious dessert in minutes.

Preparation for Caramel M&M Cookie Bars could not be easier. Simply start by whisking the dry ingredients together. Next beat brown sugar, melted butter, eggs and vanilla and combine with the dry ingredients. Fold in the M&M’S® Caramel candies and bake for 15 minutes.  Caramel M&M Cookie Bars have become my new go-to dessert, especially to serve a crowd at parties or any time we need something quick and easy!.

The beauty M&M’S® Caramel candies means no more unwrapping individual caramels or waiting for them to melt. With the delicious, creamy caramel nestled inside chocolate inside a candy shell, M&M’S® Caramel is not only delicious, but a time saver as well. The result is a wonderful brown sugar buttery caramel bar made easy and delicious. Happy baking!
