I recently rediscovered my love for crispy m&m's and was trying to think of new ways to enjoy them other than eating a handful straight from the bag. I thought of making cookies with them, but sometimes it's hard to get the distribution right, and then it hit me! BLONDIES! For those that don't know what blondies are, they're essentially cookie bars, but made with only brown sugar instead of a combination of white and brown. Blondies and Brownies are sort of the Yin and Yang of square treats.
I wanted to keep these blondies simple, but full of flavor so I used a combination of different chocolate chips and crispy m&m's. They turned out PERFECT. There were slightly crunchy ends and perfectly chewy, not gooey, centers. I took them to my husband's office, and they were a HIT. People even said they wanted to marry someone who could make these, and I told them I could make it easy for them and just share the recipe on my blog! I hope you enjoy these and if you need a little more chocolate in your life, go ahead and make my classic chewy brownie recipe!
