These Chocolate Chip and m&m Cookie Dough Bars are to DIE for and make way more than you’d think! Just a bite will satisfy your sweet tooth with the doughy, safe to eat cookie dough and the crunch of the cold chocolate chips and m&m’s.
This world has officially been changed. You see, when this dessert hit my countertop… planet Earth became a better place.
If you’ve ever been one to not eat the raw cookie dough because of the pending risk of raw eggs making you sick … yet longed for the sweet, sugary, and crunch of the cold chocolate chips that raw cookie dough brings to your tastebuds and tongue, you’re in luck. This cookie dough recipe is fantastic. Just absolutely fantastic, with no raw eggs.
And, I must say too that, much like fudge, one piece goes a long ways. An 8×8 dish lasted awhile around here because even a half by half inch piece was so amazing and rich that you only need a couple pieces to last you awhile, so rest assured, you’ll have plenty to enjoy.

Ingredients:
- ½ c. (1 stick) butter, softened (salted or unsalted is fine)
- ¾ c. packed light brown sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 c. all purpose flour
- 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 c. chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup mini m&m’s
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup milk chocolate chips
- Line an 8×8 inch pan or dish with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the softened butter and brown sugar until fluffy for about 2-3 minutes. Next, add your vanilla until combined with the sugar mixture. Alternate your flour and sweetened condensed milk until combined.
- Using a spatula, mix in chocolate chips and m&m’s.
- Press the cookie dough into the bottom of a parchment paper lined 8×8 pan with a spatula or your hands.
- Cover your bars with foil and refrigerate for 3 hours or until firm. If you’re in a hurry you can use the freezer. Next, flip the cookie dough over into the pan, taking it off of the parchment paper.
- Once cookie dough has set up and hardened, you’re ready to make your topping. Combine the peanut butter and ½ cup chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Pour and spread over the top of the chilled dough and chill again at least for 1 hour until firm in the refrigerator or freezer.
- Next, cut into pieces and enjoy! 🙂
