You guys know how I work. I see the holiday M&Ms, instantly buy 3 bags, bring them home and think, "hmmmm...what can I bake with these...". And thus...a blondie was born and adorned with Valentine M&Ms. And you know what else? You could totally mix and match these for any holiday (M&M makes Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, St. Paddy's Day, Easter...and probably more!) Make a blondie and have it with your sweetheart.
Shopping List
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups Valentine M&Ms (or whatever holiday you're celebrating)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray an 8x8 inch baking dish with Pam and set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla with a spoon until just blended. In a second bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Slowly stir the flour mixture into the brown sugar mixture until just combined. Stir in one cup of your M&Ms.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Take your remaining 1/2 cup M&Ms and slightly press them across the top of the batter. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Cool on wire rack at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
Simple and festive. Kiss your Valentine!

Going to pin these right now.....guessing they will get LOTS and LOTS of repins. They are sooo festive!
cute!! hard to believe its already time to think about valentines day ~ seems like it was Christmas like yesterday! =)
SO cute! Going to pin this to make for my little fifth-graders on Valentine's Day!
Love! So festive! Would be great to take to school for the kids' classmates! :)
These look great! I'm visiting a children's hospital in Dallas on valentines day I am sure they will all love these!
YUM! These look amazing!
Made these today and like everything else you post it was delicious!!!
When we were overseas, I would have my mom send me bags of holiday M&Ms and then I'd sort them so I'd have green for St. Pat's or pink for a little girl bday. American M&Ms are different (and superior!) to the foreign rendition! :) These blondies look yummy!
I made these today and they were delicious! They took 35 minutes to cook through for me and I used a 1/4 cup of m&m's on the top instead of a half cup. Thanks for sharing!
Made these Monday night for a meeting I had on Tuesday and they were so simple and easy to make. Plus they were a huge hit!
Love your recipes and both blogs! Blondes were a success in our home, and my girls now renamed brownies to brunetties! Very cute. Thank you!
I don't know what I did, but I'm up to 30+ on baking?!?!
These look great, blah, I did a horrible job celebrating this year. I have my two boys and I wanted to bake with them but we were in the middle of renovations and had no kitchen, so this year's Valentine's Day was Chinese take-out (ah well, at least I spent it with hubby and the boys). In the future, I want to bake cute things like this, with mms (son LOVES them).
