M&M Blondies

Buttery, rich, and soft, and these M&M Blondies are so easy to make. Perfect for any time of year but especially great at Christmas time.

Blondie vs Brownie

We have all heard of brownies. They are a very popular treat and dessert. But have you ever had a Blondie?

A blondie is like a brownie but without chocolate. Sometimes there are chocolate chips added. But blondies are essentially a brownies without cocoa powder or chocolate added to the batter.

There is also more vanilla in Blondies than in a brownie batter.

M&Ms In Place Of Some of The Chocolate Chips

The addition of M&Ms in these blondies changes the flavor. You can use regular M&Ms or minis. The choice is yours.

Around Christmas, there are special edition M&Ms which are the ones I like to use. Our favourite is the Mint M&Ms which are available around Christmas time only. I have also used the White Chocolate Peppermint M&Ms as well as a combination of the two. These flavors of M&Ms come in red, green, and white which add that festive look to the blondies.

Great For Special Occasions

I love to make these and add them to Christmas baskets to give to all my friends. By using Christmas M&Ms, it adds Christmas colors to the blondies, making them more festive.

M&Ms also come in special occasion colors at different times of the year. Pink for Valentine’s Day. Pastel colors at Easter. With all the colors available, these M&M Blondies can be made for any occasion.

Share These M&M Blondies With Friends and Family

This recipe makes a larger batch than a usual blondie recipe. I created this recipe for sharing. It has also been a hit with bake sales for our sons’ football games as well as bake sales at school.

We also have a large family (10 children is considered a large family these days). So these don’t last long in our house.

This recipe will make 35 servings. (See how to store it below).

Pan For Baking The Blondies

This recipe is baked on a cookie sheet. The best size is a 15″ x 10″ pan with raised edges like a jelly roll pan.

If you don’t have a pan that size, a 13″ x 9″ cake pan will also work. This will make a thicker blondie and the baking time will be longer. If using a cake pan, the baking time should be extended to 30-35 minutes.

Storing M&M Blondies

Storing these is easy. After cooling, cut into squares and store in an air-tight container for up to 5 days.

These blondies also freeze well if wrapped in parchment paper and placed in an air-tight container or freezer bag. In the freezer, these blondies will keep for up to three months. Thaw at room temperature.
