How to Make It

Heat the oven to 350°F. Line a 3-quart shallow baking pan with aluminum foil with 2 inches of foil extending beyond the edges of the pan. Lightly grease the foil. Stir the flour mixture, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract. Reduce the speed to low. Slowly add the flour and beat just until combined. Stir in 1 3/4 cups M&M's. Pour the batter into the pan. Sprinkle with the remaining M&M's. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Cool the blondies in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Use the foil to remove the blondies from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.

great for everyone to enjoy, great recipe.

Wonderful cake like, brownie like bars, great tasting, every time I have made these bars everyone has loved them, specially the small kids, they like to pick out the candy M&M's to eat. These bars travel great when going out of town to visit friends, family or going on a picnic.

PERFECT! Mine was the texture of a brownie, not cake. I left it in fridge uncovered for 2 hours.

It tasted good but it was more like a cake than a brownie. The family liked it nonetheless.
