Sharing is caring!

Soft and chewy peanut butter oatmeal cookie bars with a box of vanilla pudding mix and filled with M&Ms and chocolate chips. Everyone will love the soft and chewy texture of the cookie bars and the delicious peanut butter and chocolate flavors.

The cookie dough is made similar to a classic monster cookie dough, except for the addition of dry vanilla pudding mix whisked into the dry ingredients. The cookie dough is then pressed into a greased square baking dish and baked until the center comes out clean with a toothpick. Let cool completely before cutting into bars and serving.
