M&M Blonde Brownies

The perfect snack when you want something sweet but not overly chocolatey, if that's a thing!

Okay, so I don't know why I didn't realize it before but the name for the dessert blondies comes from combining blonde and brownies. Not sure how on earth I missed that! I just accepted blondies as the name for bars that were not brownies without thinking about it being a combination of words. I love blondies (and brownies alike) and I really enjoy M&Ms as an addition to them. I feel like all my favorites are ones with M&Ms in them. This is a very basic, classic recipe and super easy to make. It's great when you have a craving for something sweet.

The last recipe for blondies that I posted is for Maple Walnut Blondies - and while I did not like them because I don't care for maple, my family loved them and they are a complete pivot from including chocolate in blondies. If you are wanting more chocolate with M&Ms, these Peanut Butter M&M Brownies from Buns In My Oven are soooo good looking!
