Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup mini M&Ms
• 0.5 cup regular M&Ms

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and mini M&Ms until evenly distributed in the dough.

Step 7

Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish, pressing it into the corners and smoothing the top.

Step 8

Sprinkle the regular M&Ms over the top of the dough, lightly pressing them into the surface.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs.

Step 10

Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 11

Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper, if used. Cut into 16 squares or rectangles.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy your colorful, chewy M&M Dream Bars!
