M&M'S® GRANOLA BARS
Very tasty! My uber-picky 12-year old even loves them, so I know that the toughest critic will enjoy these. For a crunchier bar, bake longer; for a chewier bar, bake less.

Tips:
- Use a good-quality caramel. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the bars.
- Don't overcook the caramel. If you do, it will become too thick and difficult to spread.
- Be careful when melting the chocolate. If you overheat it, it will seize up and become unusable.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. You can use chopped nuts, sprinkles, or even crushed candy canes.
- Be sure to let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.

These Christmas M&M's Caramel Bars are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any holiday gathering. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
