This monster bars recipe is one of those really yummy kid-friendly recipes that adults will like, too. While these are not particularly healthy, Monster Bars are sure to please the entire family. They are one of my personal favorites – the peanut butter, oatmeal, chocolate chips, and M & M’s combine to make the perfect dessert. They are perfect to serve at a birthday party or to bring to a get together. Confession: I actually warm some up and eat these for breakfast when we have them in the house; don’t judge me!). The recipe is pretty simple, too. Hope you enjoy these chocolatey and tasty monster bars!
