Lift the cooled slab out with the parchment and cut into small squares for parties or larger rectangles for lunchboxes.
Serving, Storage, and Make‑Ahead Tips
-
Serve bars at room temperature; the mix of milk chocolate, white chocolate, and crunchy candy coating gives plenty of texture without frosting.
-
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 days, or wrap tightly and freeze up to 3 months; many cookie‑bar recipes note they freeze and thaw very well.
-
Warm individual bars in the microwave for a few seconds and serve with vanilla ice cream for a quick Christmas sundae.
For a food‑blog post, naturally include SEO phrases like “holiday M&M cookie bars,” “Christmas blondie bars with red and green M&M’s,” “easy one‑pan cookie bar dessert,” and “thick chewy M&M cookie bar recipe” in headings, meta description, and image alt text to match common search terms readers use around the holidays.
