Totally Trashed Cookie Bars

I’ve been on a huge sweets kick recently, which for me has been highly unusual, as I’ve always preferred savory foods instead of sweet. I do however have one weakness and that would be peanut m&ms – in college I would go through Costco size bags of peanut m&ms every week. I had a large craving for cookie bars last night because who doesn’t want an obscene amount of chocolate on Valentine’s Day. I added just about everything I could think of into the cookie bars, ooey, gooey, and the perfect sweet/salty mix.

Ingredients:

• 2 ½ cups of AP flour
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ tablespoon melted unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ½ cup of white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups peanut m&ms
• ½ cup semi- sweet chocolate chips
• ½  cup sweetened coconut flakes
• ½  cup crushed pretzels

DIRECTIONS:

Pre-heat oven to 350*F

In a large bowl mix up all your dry ingredients together. In a smaller bowl mix together all your wet ingredients and then dump it into the large bowl. Mix everything well together to make dough. Fold in your m&ms, chocolate chips, coconut flakes, and pretzels – make sure everything is mixed in well together.

Spread the dough on a large baking sheet in a thin layer and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.

Enjoy!
