Pizza Bars
Pizza Bars combine a soft oatmeal and brown sugar crust topped with warm caramel sauce, mini chocolate chips, and M&Ms, finished with a drizzle of melted almond bark or white chocolate. Baked until edges brown softly, these bars have a chewy texture with contrasting sweet and chocolatey toppings. The recipe allows flexibility in pan size and toppings, making it versatile for dessert or snack occasions.
Ingredients
- 1 c. butter softened
- 1 c. brown sugar packed
- 1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 c. oatmeal
- 11.5 oz mini chocolate chips bag
- 10 oz mini m&m's bag
- 12.25 oz caramel sauce

Instructions

Notes
- You can use a 9x13" baking dish but bake a bit longer due to thickness.
- Store bars in an airtight container for up to two to three days to maintain softness.
- Any chocolate chips work well such as semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate.
- Try peanut butter, butterscotch, or white chocolate chips as flavorful alternatives.
- Choose different types of M&Ms for a creative twist on toppings.
- If almond bark is unavailable, melted white chocolate or vanilla candy coating can be substituted.
