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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then let it cool slightly.
Step 3
Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the melted butter, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Mix in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 9
Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of mini M&Ms over the top, pressing them gently into the dough.
Step 10
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.
Step 11
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack.
Step 12
Once cooled, cut the bars into 12 equal pieces. Serve and enjoy your Marvelous M&M Bars!
