M&M Blondies
These blondies are not only delicious but also so easy to customize, making them the ideal treat for holidays, parties, or just a cozy night in.
I have to admit—I love blondies. Maybe even more than cookies! Why? Because they’re so easy to make and come together in under an hour. No need to scoop dough or wait for batches to bake; just mix, pour, bake, and enjoy. Blondies are perfect for sharing with a group of friends, treating your kids, or even indulging yourself after a long day. Plus, they’re endlessly customizable!
These blondies are especially perfect for Valentine’s Day or any holiday. Just use M&Ms in colors that match the occasion to create a festive, fun treat. Think red and pink for Valentine’s, pastels for Easter, or even red and green for Christmas. Soft, buttery, and loaded with chocolatey goodness, these blondies are guaranteed to be a hit with everyone.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup M&Ms (use festive colors if you’d like!)
Sprinkles (optional but fun!)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease or line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add in the eggs and vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract) and mix well.
Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Add the Mix-Ins: Fold in the chocolate chips, M&Ms, and sprinkles (if using). Be careful not to overmix—just enough to evenly distribute the goodies.
Bake: Spread the dough evenly into your prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for at least 10-15 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!
Blondies are the ultimate feel-good dessert. Whether you’re making them for Valentine’s Day, a special celebration, or just a quiet night at home, these M&M blondies are sure to bring a smile to everyone’s face. Give them a try, and don’t forget to tag me when you do—I’d love to see your creations!
