M&M Cookie Dough Bars is another no-bake dessert on the blog, that’s perfect for all the cookie dough lovers in the house.  It is summer, so these no-bake treats are perfect to keep in the fridge for easy snacking and feeding your sweet tooth on a whim, as needed!  

With me…that whim hits a lot. I’ve never been one to turn down cookie dough, if you want to get technical.  Most people can’t turn down cookie dough!  It tastes too yummy to resist!

Oh…and it’s safe to eat – There are no raw eggs and the flour is cooked on high in the microwave for 1 minute and 15 seconds or until flour reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, so you’re not eating raw unpasteurized flour.  This microwave trick works awesome!  

I like to whisk the flour every 30 seconds, so it doesn’t burn or scorch and to break up any clumping that occurs.  If your flour is still is a little lumpy at the end, you can sift it, if you wish to get rid of those little lumps or just break them up with a spatula or fork.

I love the m&m’s in these, but you could absolutely just use mini chocolate chips or use a combination of m&m‘s and mini chocolate chips if you wish or make it peanut buttery and add some Reese’s pieces.

And speaking of peanut buttery?  We are!  Because this cookie dough is topped with a luscious chocolate peanut butter ganache that gives it an extra shot of yum.   

If you’re a cookie dough ninja like the rest of the world, you’ll love 4 Edible Cookie Doughs for the No-Bakers and this Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough for sure!  Pin them for later! 

Depending on the pan you use, will depend on how thick you make your bars.  An 8×8 baking pan is wonderful if you prefer thicker bars, like pictured, but if you want then not as thick, use a 9×9 baking pan or for super thin bars, 9×13 pan. 

Any way you choose, you’ll still get that cookie dough taste you’re craving.

    Ok. So I made these and they taste great, but they wouldn’t raise at all. They ate like chocolate chip cookie chips! I followed the recipe exactly. Any help?

      They aren’t baked, so they will not raise, because they are no bake bars.
