- ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted, cooled slightly
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup holiday M&Ms
- ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup cream cheese chips* optional, leave out or use white chocolate chips
Spray an 8 inch square pan with baking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper. Leave an overhang on both sides to make the blondies easier to remove from the pan once baked.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and melted butter.
Add the vanilla extract and the egg. Whisk to combine.
With a spatula, fold the flour and salt into the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined.
Fold in the M&Ms, chocolate chips and cream cheese chips* (if using)
Turn batter out into the baking pan. Spread it evenly and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
Bake 21-23 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean or with just a few crumbs when inserted in the center of the blondies.
Place the pan on a wire rack and allow blondies to cool completely in the pan.
Cream Cheese Chips: Leave out cream cheese chips if you can't find them. You could also add extra M&Ms or extra white or semi-sweet chocolate chips in place of the cream cheese chips.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 day or refrigerate up to 1 week. Store the cooled and sliced blondies in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge or at room temperature overnight before serving.
