M&M Blondies Recipe

These M&M blondies are chewy, buttery, and loaded with two full cups of M&Ms in every 9x13 pan. One bowl, no mixer, and 30 minutes is all you need. And with a simple swap of seasonal M&M colors, they work for every holiday on the calendar.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter melted
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar lightly packed
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups M&M’s candies any variety

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
  • Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until a soft dough forms.
  • Fold in the M&M’s candies.
  • Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 23–25 minutes, just until the edges are golden. Do not overbake.
  • Let cool completely before slicing into 12 squares.

Notes

Press extra M&Ms on top of the batter before baking for a prettier, more colorful bar.
How Do You Cut M&M's 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.
