Many of you know that I like to bake at Christmas time, and that I try to bake something every day for a couple of weeks so that I have a variety of goodies for my Christmas tins. I love bars as they do not take as much time as some other desserts, and if they are cut in small squares, they go a long way.

I love these fudge filled bars because, well do I really have to explain why I love fudge in bars? Anything with a fudgy layer wins me over! 

This dessert is not necessarily a Christmas dessert, but I put red and green M & M’s on top of them, and they look great for Christmas.

HOWEVER . . . I had one problem that I did not realize I had until I had already mixed up the crust part of the bars.

I didn’t have regular green and red M & M’s! I had the  mini size M & M’s, but I wanted to save most of them for another dessert. So I pulled out the fall M & M’s I had bought yet never used. The kids sorted out all the brown ones, and I used the gold and red ones along with some mini red and green M & M’s. Mission accomplished!

  1. Here’s my post I did a long time ago on those! Love them! Your post looks so much nicer though, so I’m not going to link up–I don’t even have a picture on mine. 😉 But I’ll try to remember the Tasty Tuesdays linkup for the future!

  3. Thsee sound absolutely amazing!! Sadly we can’t eat them at our house, but I may have to try to adapt them to something we can eat. If I do, and they turn out, I will let you know.

  8. Thank you so much for hosting this link-up! I was so proud of my little soup I made and I’m getting so few hits on it so far. I look forward to trying out some of your sweet treats too! 🙂

    • I do freeze it all almost, then I take it out when I do my tins. (I put some just on plates and cover them up.) I put everyone’s last names on sticky papers, put them in front of the tins around the edge of my table, and go around and make up everybody’s at one time.

  14. Fudge Filled Bars!!! How am I just learning about these? I can’t wait to try them. These will be served for Christmas this year!
    Thanks for the link up. 🙂
