  NOT vanilla chips or white baking chips

  and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
• 2 Stir in oats, one cup M&Ms, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and peanuts.

  mixed; this may take 4-5 minutes.
• 4 Press mixture into a 10x15” greased glass baking dish.
• 5 Sprinkle remaining one cup of M&Ms evenly on top.
• 6 Press M&Ms into the brownies so they adhere slightly.

  brownies are set.
