Monster Bars

Monster
Bars
These Monster Bars are so good!  I made them twice in two days simply because they are THAT EASY!  The first batch was consumed by the kids and their friends that were over for swimming.  The second batch was for just us when we went on a picnic.  I literally had everything whipped up and ready to go even before the oven had preheated completely.  Simple!
Monster Bars
9 full graham crackers
4 tbsp. butter
1 can sweetened condensed milk
3/4 c. oats
3/4 c. M&Ms
3/4 c chocolate chips
In a zip top bag, crush the graham crackers.  Once crushed, add the 4 tbsp. butter to the bag.  Place in microwave and melt in 30 second increments.  Should only take 1 minute or so.
Remove from microwave and mix the butter and graham crackers together until fully incorporated.
Press the graham cracker crumbs into a well-greased and parchment lined 13x9 baking dish.
Evenly pour the sweetened condensed milk over the graham cracker layer.  Then sprinkle the oats, M&MS, and chocolate chips on top.
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until browned and pulling away from the edges.
(Sorry I don't know how to do the print links yet.  You'll have to copy and paste.)
*My notes* - I made one batch with fat free sweetened condensed milk and one with full fat.  The fat free was a little chewier but I didn't really notice a change in flavor.  Yes, that means I sampled one from each batch.  Or possibly more.
Store in an airtight container.
