What Is A Blondie?

Blondies are the opposite of a brownie.  They have the same chewy, fudge texture, minus the cocoa.  Brownies are chocolate based, while blondies are vanilla based.  Technically - both brownies and blondies are considered cookie bars - softer than a cookie, but firmer than a cake.  Both blondies and brownies are made with flour, sugar, butter and eggs.  But, blondies usually have the addition of candy or nuts.  Here we are using the best of both worlds - Peanut M&Ms! Milk chocolate, a candy shell, and roasted peanuts are the perfect touch to this chewy blondies recipe.

Let's Chat M&M’S^® Peanut candies

The reason I chose to add M&M’S^® Peanut candies to this recipe is because I feel you really get a depth of flavor and texture that makes this recipe pop.  I love that M&M’S^® Peanut candies are made with real milk chocolate and roasted peanuts.  The colorful candy shell makes this dessert not only beautiful and fun, but is classic - and a crowd pleaser.  They really satisfy that craving for a nutty crunch.

How Long Will Blondies Keep?

Store blondies covered in an airtight container up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the fridge. You can also freeze up to 3 months.

How Do You Cut Blondies?

1. Make sure your blondies are completely cooled.  This will take a few hours on a wire rack.
2. I like to remove them from the pan.  Using parchment paper makes this easy.  Simply lift them out of the pan and place on a cutting board.
3. I've found that using a serrated knife makes the cleanest cuts.  You can also run the knife under warm water and dry it off to make more clean cuts.
