Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until combined.
- Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined—avoid overmixing.
- Fold in 1 ¼-ish cups of M&M’s (reserve the rest for decorating the top), sprinkles and chopped Oreos (save some of these for decorating the top, too!)
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, then sprinkle extra M&M’s and a few chopped Oreos on Top for Decoration

- Cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars.
