Notes

To make these on the stove, melt the butter and marshmallows in a large sauce pan over low heat until the marshmallows are just melted. Proceed with the recipe from there.

For a thicker bar, press mixture into a 9x9 pan. You'll need less of the topping as there will be less surface area to cover.

You can swap the m&m's for any candy, such as Reese's Pieces, Heath bars, or even chopped peanuts.
