Valentine's day m&m's blondies

This is the best Valentine’s day m&m cookie bar recipe ever!

Every year around this time the shelves are packed with Valentine’s day candy, but the one thing that catches my eye year after year has to be the super cute Valentine’s day m&m’s. They have two tones of pink, red, and white candies in every bag which made me think that they would be absolutely stunning in a blondie.

I didn’t want to go with chocolate chips like I did in my previous blondies so I opted for something a little bit more decadent. A chopped up chocolate bar would loog great with the m&m candies but would also create beautiful pools of melty chocolate.

What are chocolate m&m blondies?

Blondies are technically soft and chewy cookie bars. This one isn’t made with any leavening agents so it can stay pretty dense, just like a fudgy cookie but in cookie form.

Why do you need to make this recipe?

  • It’s a super easy dessert.
  • No need to scoop, just spread and bake.
  • They are the most perfect dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Equipment

  • An 8×8 baking pan

Ingredients
 
 

  • ½ cup butter melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ⅓ cup AP flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ cup Valentine's day blondies regular or mini, extra for topping (optional)
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate bar chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F then line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Mix the melted butter and brown sugar together on medium speed until combined.
    ½ cup butter, 1 cup brown sugar
  • Add the egg, the egg yolk, and the vanilla extract and whip for at least 3 minutes. This process will create a beautiful crinkly top.
    1 large egg, 1 egg yolk, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Mix in the flour and salt just until the flour disappears. You don't want to over-mix the brown butter blondie mix. Fold in the chopped-up chocolate and the M&m's.
    1 ⅓ cup AP flour, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ cup Valentine's day blondies, 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate bar
  • Spread the blondie mixture in the prepared 8X8 inch baking pan, top with extra m&m's and chopped chocolate, and bake for 20-23 minutes.
  • Once baked, pull out the blondies from the oven and allow them to cool down fully before slicing into them. I let them cool for an hour or two depending on my kitchen's temperature. They should be at room temperature. This will allow the bars to be fully set. Slice into 16 equal squares and enjoy.

Notes

  • 5 days in an air-tight container at room temperature. 
  • A week in an air-tight container in the fridge.
