M&M Blondies

These blonde brownies are rich, chewy, and sinfully delicious! The addition of M&M's add the bit of chocolate you need and add some cuteness with bright pops of color. It's easy to make these blondies for any holiday or season just by using the holiday M&M's instead of the regular ones! The spring M&M's I used made them fun to share at Easter and will be perfect for Mother's Day.
