Quick, easy and fun to eat. | www.dadwhats4dinner.comIf you are in need of a quick last-minute treat to take to a cookout or potluck, this is for you. I love Peanut Butter M & M’s. Peanut M & M’s used to be my favorite until they started making these. They add a nice crunch and little more peanut butter flavor and that can’t be all bad.

Peanut Butter M and M Blondies take the wonderful little candy to a whole new level. Quick, easy and fun to eat. | www.dadwhats4dinner.comI picked up a new pan at GFS this week. It is a 1/4 sheet pan. Perfect size for brownie or bar recipes. The recipe is simple and can be made in under an hour.

Method to make Peanut Butter M and M Blondies

Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease an 8-inch square or 1/4 sheet baking pan. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter and butter. Add the eggs, brown sugar, vanilla and marshmallow fluff. Beat until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Peanut Butter M and M Blondies take the wonderful little candy to a whole new level. Quick, easy and fun to eat. | www.dadwhats4dinner.comAdd flour mix to the butter mixture and mix until well blended. Stir in M & M’s. Spread batter evenly into pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool on wire rack and cut into 2 inch squares.

Enjoy!!

    Happy Fiesta Friday, Quinn! These sound so great – all my favorite flavors! I checked out GFS, your link for the sheet pan and got lost for awhile there! I loved reading about all the restaurant trends and how restaurants can cater to boomers, GenX and Millennials and what’s hot now!

    Well these bars are gonna be hot at my house! 🙂

    Hello, Quinn. These bars are so delish! I haven’t tried this kind of M&M. It’s so dun now that M&M includes many varieties of chocolate candies now. Mint, dark chocolate and salted&sweet are my new favorites. Happy FF! 🙂
