M&M Blondies. Looks like a cookie but tastes like a brownie.

I was cleaning out my pantry and hidden ALLLLL the way in the back, behind my boxes of cereal was a GIANT box full of M&Ms.  Okay, well, not THAT giant, just a Costco sized box of individually packaged M&Ms.  Although I do LOVE M&Ms eating them straight out of the bags seemed a bit overwhelming (talk about M&M overload...), I decided to take a few packs and make some M&M Blondies.  M&Ms? Yumm.  Blonde brownies? YUMM. Blonde brownies with M&Ms? That is heaven.....

All the ingredients mixed together. Doesn't the batter remind you of a rainbow?? :)

It took me a while to get it smooth in the pan, but with a little force and a lot of love ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

30 minutes at 325°F later....

Doesn't it look like one GIANT cookie!? :)

Packed and ready to go!

The first bite of these babies definitely got me confused. My eyes percieved cookies but my mouth tasted brownie.  But overall, the texture was light and fluffy and the taste was...plain and simple...DELICIOUS!  If you like cookies and LOVE brownies these treats are perfect for you.
