Cookie Pizza Bars

I had some leftover Christmas M&Ms and wondered what to do with them and thought, "Mmm ... cookie pizza bars!" There wasn't enough for a whole pan of bars so I added some Twix candy bars, slicing them into smaller pieces.

One for me and one for the bars. One for me and one for the bars. Just kidding, although it is tempting not to find a few in your mouth as you're slicing them up.

Mix all the crust ingredients together and spread it in a lightly greased 9"x13" cake pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle with miniature chocolate chips and drop with peanut butter over the chips. Lower the oven to 300 degrees and place the bars back in the oven for two minutes to melt the chips and peanut butter. 

Remove the bars from the oven again ...

and spread the melted chips and peanut butter evenly.

Immediately top with the candy pieces.

Let cool, cut and enjoy!
