Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter (125g), melted and cooled
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 cup raw sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup plain (all purpose) flour
• 180g Oreo cookies (approx. 18), roughly chopped
• ½ cup M&Ms - Christmas coloured ones if you can get them

Directions

• Preheat oven to 175˚C.

• Line a 20cm square baking tin with aluminium foil and spray with a cooking spray.

• Place cooled butter, egg, sugar and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and stir until smooth.

• Stir in the flour, mixing until it is just combined. You don’t want to overdo it.

• Add the Oreos and half of the M&Ms and stir until mixed in. Keep the other half of the M&Ms aside to decorate the top of the bars.
• Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin. Use a spatula to push the batter into the corners of the tin and smooth the top.

• Sprinkle the M&Ms you kept back over the top of the bars.

• Bake for approximately 18 to 20 minutes or until the top is set in the middle. If you can find a spot with just batter test with a skewer to see if the bars are cooked. If the skewer comes out clean you know the bars are done. The bars will become more firm as they cool.
• 
Cool in the tin on a wire rack.

• Turn out and slice into bars for serving.
