A lovely blondie recipe with a rich caramel flavour from the brown sugar.
Ingredients: Makes 24 pieces
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups M&Ms (the chocolate ones)
Directions: Beat the butter and brown sugar until creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat again. Sift together the salt, baking powder, and flour. Slowly beat into the butter mixture. Stir in 1 cup of the M&Ms by hand. Spread the batter in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the top with the extra 1/2 cup M&Ms. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 23 minutes. Do not overcook as you will loose from the beautiful fudginess of the blondies. Let cool completely before cutting into squares. Store in a sealed container.
This dish is perfect for a Sunday lunch or dinner. Serve with potatoes and a side salad. You can also prepare the rolls (after cooking the vegetables) and refrigerate them, then cook them the next day.
