These easy and delicious peanut butter cookie bars with M&Ms are flaky and crispy on the top and chocolate and peanut butter filled on the inside.  Such a decadent treat.

If you enjoy peanut butter, we have got you covered with more delicious peanut butter recipes including Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies, Peanut Butter Fudge, Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars, and Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake Bars.

Peanut butter cookie bars with m&ms on a white plate.

These bars are surprisingly delicious.  I thought they might just taste like another 'ol bar with m&ms.  Not the case.

These are light, fluffy, incredibly flavorful bars.  The top is slightly crunchy and the peanut butter dough, loaded with m&ms, is rich and delicious.

I think I was worried they would be too greasy with so much peanut butter in them, but the combo of ingredients yields a perfectly moist bar with flaky, crispy top.

Tips:

  1. You could swap out the m&ms for chocolate chips and create chocolate chip peanut butter cookie bars.  They would be equally as delicious.
  2. You could also skip any additions, and make them simply peanut butter cookie bars without chocolate.
  3. The bars are a great base peanut butter bar recipe.   You could transform these into peanut butter cookies bars with peanut butter frosting or peanut butter cookie bars with chocolate frosting.

You will be surprised how quickly these delicious bars come together.

We really enjoyed these cookie bars, and we hope you do too!
