Let’s dive into why these treats are so special and how you can create them in your kitchen!

Ingredients Required for MM Blondies

When it comes to making MM Blondies, the ingredients play a crucial role in achieving that rich, chewy texture and delightful flavor. The combination of flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt lays a perfect base for the batter, while the butter and brown sugar contribute to the sweet and indulgent taste we all love. The colorful M & M’s and semi-sweet chocolate chips add bursts of flavor and fun, making these blondies visually appealing and delicious. Together, they create a treat that’s enjoyable both to make and to eat.

• 1 ½ cups flour: This serves as the backbone of the blondies, providing structure and texture. Make sure to measure it accurately for the best results.
• 1 teaspoon baking powder: A must for ensuring that the blondies rise and have a light, fluffy texture.
• ¼ teaspoon salt: Just a pinch enhances the flavors and balances the sweetness of the brown sugar.
• 12 tablespoons butter: Melted and cooled, this is essential for adding richness and moisture, creating the soft texture you crave.
• 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar: This adds the signature sweet and caramel-like flavor to the blondies.
• 2 eggs: Lightly beaten, these act as a binder, helping everything come together perfectly.
• 4 teaspoons vanilla extract: While I can’t use artificial vanilla, the real stuff elevates the flavor, making your blondies taste homemade and special.
• ½ cup M & M’s: The colorful candies not only add sweetness but also visual appeal, making these blondies a fun treat.
• ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips: These are a classic addition that brings an extra layer of richness and texture to the blondies.

Recipe Steps for MM Blondies

Making MM Blondies is a delightful experience that fills your kitchen with mouthwatering aromas. Start by preparing your oven and baking dish, then mix your ingredients with love and care. Following each step ensures that your blondies turn out perfectly every time.

1. Preheat your oven to 350°. This is the ideal temperature for baking MM Blondies, allowing them to cook evenly and develop that beautiful golden top.
2. Line a 9 x 9-inch baking pan with nonstick foil, ensuring there’s enough overhang. This will help you lift the blondies out of the pan once they’re baked. A little prep goes a long way!
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This mix will ensure that your blondies rise nicely.
4. In another medium bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar, whisking until they’re well incorporated. The mixture should look smooth and glossy.
5. Add the lightly beaten eggs and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix well until everything is combined, creating a rich batter.
6. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Be careful not to overmix; we want to keep that light texture!
7. Now, it’s time to fold in the chocolate chips and M & M’s. This is where the fun begins! Gently incorporate them so they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Use an offset spatula to smooth the top, ensuring an even bake.
9. For a decorative touch, push in a few extra M & M’s on top of the batter before baking.
10. Bake the blondies for 27 to 30 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the top is shiny, cracked, and a light golden brown. Resist the urge to overbake!
11. Once baked, let them cool on a wire rack to room temperature. This is the hardest part—waiting! Once cooled, use the foil overhang to lift the blondies from the pan and cut them into squares.
