Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups mini M&M candies
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then let it cool slightly.
Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the melted butter, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Mix in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in 1 cup of mini M&M candies and the semi-sweet chocolate chips, reserving the remaining 1/2 cup of M&Ms for topping.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of mini M&Ms over the top, pressing them gently into the dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack.
Once cooled, cut the bars into 12 equal pieces. Serve and enjoy your Marvelous M&M Bars!
