Notes

PRO TIPS FOR PERFECT CHRISTMAS SEVEN LAYER BARS

  • Be sure to gently press your ingredients into the condensed milk.. it's the glue that holds everything together. 
  • Get creative with these Christmas cookie bars... add toffee, more nuts, white chocolate chips or red and green sprinkles.
  • Don't over bake these bars.. your M&Ms will lose their color and you will be sad.
  • To serve, I usually cut the edges off before cutting the cookies into socially acceptable size pieces.  It keeps them pretty.
