Have you ever tried Coconut M&M’s before? This was my first time, and I was VERY pleasantly surprised! I bought them on a whim in the Easter aisle at Target. They’ll never replace my #1 M&M love, Peanut Butter, but they are a great addition to the M&M family. I thought I’d experiment with them and make cookies…it just might be the best decision I’ve ever made. Coconut M&M Oatmeal CookiesI love the teal Easter egg color!Coconut M&M Oatmeal CookiesHad to add coconut to enhance the flavor of the chocolate.Coconut M&M Oatmeal CookiesThey are so good! Chewy oats and coconut in the middle, crunchy golden edges, with smooth coconut M&M’s sprinkled throughout. They’d be a perfect addition to your Easter spread with those pretty little eggs showing through.Coconut M&M Oatmeal CookiesMy friend is a Coconut M&M’s lover and told me that they are available year round, so you could make these cookies anytime with the non-seasonal variety. Enjoy!
