M&M Oatmeal Brownies

Tired of those plain old brownies? Want to spruce them up a bit? Try this recipe! It is delicious, with fudge-like brownies sandwiched between a crunchy oatmeal and M&M crust. The recipe calls for miniature M&M candies but I used regular ones because I had them in my cupboard. I think the miniature ones would be even better! These would be perfect for any Holiday treat if you used Holiday M&Ms.
