Fudge Ripple Monster Bars have an oatmeal base and a chocolate fudge layer in the middle. M&M’s mixed in make this an amazing dessert bar that kids and adults will love.

I was looking for a fun treat that would travel well, something other than a cookie.  This bar recipe was just what I was looking for, delicious, fun and easy to transport. It has some peanut butter but it’s not the prevailing flavor.  We really liked the fudgy layer in the middle, and who can resist M&Ms.  These were even more fun because the colors were purple, turquoise and other colors that people voted to be added to the traditional colors.

The recipe calls for 1/2 of a can of sweetened condensed milk.  Really? What are you going to do with the other 1/2.  Just double the recipe and freeze any that you have left over, they are good enough that you’ll be glad you did.
