Easy Peasy Spring M&M Cookie Bars

These easy spring M&M cookie bars are the perfect treat for Easter gatherings, barbecues or just when you want to celebrate something special!

We are having a spring “heatwave” here in Iowa with lots of unseasonably warm weather in the 50’s and 60’s.

The snow is finally gone and these warmer temps are fabulous to enjoy, especially after lots of being cooped up indoors this winter.

With warm weather and sunshine spring has been on my mind, and I’ll be sharing lots of fun spring ideas and recipes over the next few days and weeks.

Unfortunately today I have a sick kid and we haven’t been able to enjoy the weather outside, so I wanted to bring a bit of spring inside for us to enjoy.

These easy cookies are a perfect treat for spring, Easter or just to brighten up sick kids on a sunny day.
